Can anyone help confirm my answer for this question? I got 2.85 minutes. Thanks
Around midcourse, a velocity adjustment is performed to eliminate the small errors introduced when departing from Earth orbit. This adjustment is performed using one of the onboard thrusters. At the location where the adjustment is made, the velocity is V = 26,449 m/s and should be V = 27,149 m/s. Knowing that the thruster used for the maneuver generates a thrust F = 7,706 N, determine how long, in minutes, it should be turned on to adjust the velocity. The mass of the spacecraft is 2,500 kg.
