Question

A shuttle changed velocity from 5.0 km/s to 11.9 km/s in 0.5 seconds. What is the acceleration of
the meteorold in m/s??​

Answer 1

Answer: The acceleration for the shuttle is 13 800m/s^2.

Explanation:

The answer is required is si unit which is m/s^2.

The first step is to convert to velocity to m/s, 1km=1000m therefore we have to multiply by 1000

5km/s=5000m/s

11.9km/s=11900m/s.

The formula for the acceleration is a=dv/t

a=11900-5000/0.5

a=13 800m/s
