Answer

x-component of the acceleration $=4.79\space m/s^{2}$ y-component of the acceleration $=7.59\space m/s^{2}$

Work Step by Step

Here we use equation 3.5a,b $S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ in horizontal, and vertical directions to find the x, and y components of its acceleration. $\rightarrow S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $4.11\times 10^{6}m=4370\times684\space m+\frac{1}{2}a_{x}(684\space s)^{2}$ $a_{x}=\frac{2(4.11\times 10^{6}m-4370\times684\space m)}{(684\space s)^{2}}=4.79\space m/s^{2}$ $\uparrow S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $6.07\times 10^{6}m=6280\times684\space m+\frac{1}{2}a_{y}(684\space s)^{2}$ $a_{y}=\frac{2(6.07\times 10^{6}m-6280\times684\space m)}{(684\space s)^{2}}=7.59\space m/s^{2}$
