Use the values RE = 6370 km = 3960 mi for the radius of the earth

The 100-Mg space shuttle is in orbit when its engines are turned on, exerting a thrust force T = 10i – 20j + 10k (kN) for 2 s. Neglect the resulting change in mass of the shuttle. At the end of the 2-s burn, fuel is still sloshing back and forth in the shuttle’s tanks. What is the change in the velocity of the center of mass of life shuttle (including the fuel it contains) due to the 2-s burn?
