Answer:

a = 200 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The initial speed of rocket-powered sled, u = 0

The final speed of rocket-powered sled, v = 440 m/s

Time taken to reach final speed, t = 2.20 s

The acceleration of the body is given by the change in velocity by time

a = (v - u) / t

= (440 - 0) / 2.20

= 200 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the rocket-powered sled, a = 200 m/s²
