cesium-ion engine for deep-space propulsion is designed to produce a constant thrust of 2.5 N for long

Question:

cesium-ion engine for deep-space propulsion is designed to produce a constant thrust of 2.5 N for long periods of time. If the engine is to propel a 70-Mg spacecraft on an interplanetary mission, compute the time t required for a speed increase from 40 000 km / h to 65 000 km / h. Also fi nd the distance s traveled during this interval. Assume that the spacecraft is moving in a remote region of space where the thrust from its ion engine is the only force acting on the spacecraft in the direction of its motion.
