Question

a rocket is launched and accelerates to 15,000 m/s in 100 seconds. calculate its acceleration. answer:____ m/s

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the acceleration formula

Acceleration \(a=\frac{v - u}{t}\), where \(v\) is final velocity, \(u\) is initial velocity, and \(t\) is time. Assume initial velocity \(u = 0\space m/s\), \(v=15000\space m/s\), \(t = 100\space s\).

Step2: Substitute values into the formula

\(a=\frac{15000 - 0}{100}\)

Step3: Calculate the result

\(a=\frac{15000}{100}=150\space m/s^{2}\)

Answer:

\(150\)
