Answer:
0.033 miles/second
Explanation:
Assuming a rocket is 1 mile above the earth in 30 seconds and 5 miles above the earth in 2.5 minutes what will be:
•The rockets rate of change in miles per second is 0.033 miles/second
•The miles per minute 2 miles per minute
Calculation to determine the rockets rate of change in miles per second .
Given:
Rocket 1 miles above the earth=30 seconds
5 miles above the earth= 2.5 minutes or 150 seconds
Rocket rate of change in miles per second=(5miles-1 miles)/ (150 seconds-30 seconds)
Rocker rate of change in miles per second= 4/120 miles per second
Rocket rate of change in miles per second= 0.033 miles/second
