A flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.10 x 10-5 N straight down on the ground. A breeze blowing on the flea parallel to the ground exerts a force of 0.660 x 10-6 N on the flea. Find the direction and magnitude of the acceleration of the flea if its mass is 6.10 x 10-7 kg. Do not neglect the gravitational force. (Assume that the breeze blows in the +x-direction and that the +y-direction is up.) m/s2 magnitude direction counterclockwise from the +x-axis
