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