A certain type of rocket sled is used to measure the effect of sudden

acceleration. The sled at rest has a speed of 0.0 km/h, and then reaches a
top speed of 320km/h in 0.18 seconds. What is the acceleration that takes
place in this time?

Answer:

To find the acceleration that takes place in 0.18 seconds, we can use the formula:

acceleration = (change in velocity) / (change in time)

In this case, the change in velocity is 320km/h (the final speed) - 0.0 km/h (the initial speed) = 320km/h

And the change in time is 0.18 seconds.

So the acceleration is:

acceleration = (320 km/h) / (0.18 seconds) = 1777.78 km/h^2 or 1777.78 m/s^2

The acceleration is equal to 1777.78 m/s^2.
