Answer:

The acceleration of the rocket is 20 m/s².

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the time it took to achieve that change in velocity. In this case, the change in velocity is 250 m/s - 50 m/s = 200 m/s, and it took 10 seconds, so the acceleration is 200 m/s / 10 s = 20 m/s².
