your rocket takes off from earth and goes from 0 m per second to 560 per second in the first 7 seconds of flight. what is your acceleration?

Given:
Initial velocity = 0 m/s
Final velocity = 560 m/s
time = 7 seconds

Acceleration = [(final velocity - initial velocity)] / time

Acceleration = (560 m/s - 0 m/s) / 7 seconds
Acceleration = 560 m/s / 7 seconds
Acceleration = 80 m/s²

The rockets' acceleration is 80 m/s² going upwards.
