Question

A space rocket is launched and accelerates uniformly to 160 m/s in 4.5 s. Calculate the acceleration of the rocket.​

Answer 1

Answer:

35.56 m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{v}{t}$

v is the velocity

t is the time

From the question we have

$a = \frac{160}{4.5} = 35.55555...$

We have the final answer as

35.56 m/s²

Hope this helps you
