can you explain how to do this problem?

A space probe has two engines. Each generates the same amount of force when fired, and the directions of these forces can be independently adjusted. When the engines are fired simultaneously and each applies its force in the same direction, the probe, starting from rest, takes 21 s to travel a certain distance. How long does it take to travel the same distance, again starting from rest, if the engines are fired simultaneously and the forces that they apply to the probe are perpendicular?

can you explain how to do this problem, because i can’t figure out what to do. =/

to be honest with you… thats sounds like a whole bunch of Latin to me… sorry… but if i were to take a guess i would have to say its the ratio between the different movements… but don’t count on me i tried

I am not really sure about the answer but I belive it is ratio between sin the Angele ( the vertical movement ) and cos . the Angel. ( the horizontal movement) ..
