A flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.12 x 105 N straight down on the ground. A breeze blowing on the flea parallel to the ground exerts a force of 1.12 x 10-6 N on the flea. Find the direction and magnitude (in m/s2) of the acceleration of the flea if its mass is 6.0 x 10-7 kg. (Let us assume that F points to the right. We will consider this to be the +x direction and vertical to be the +y wind direction.) magnitude direction m/s2 (measured clockwise from the vertical)
