Question

What is the acceleration of a rocket ship that takes 5.0 seconds to increase its speed from 1240 m/s to 1300 m/s?

Answer 1

`\boxed{\text{\sf \Large 12 m/s^2 $}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Use acceleration formula

`\displaystyle \text{$ \sf Acceleration=(Change \ in\ velocity)/(Time \ taken) $}`

`\displaystyle a=(1300-1240)/(5.0) =12`

Answer 2

12 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

a = (1300-1240) / 5

a = 60 / 6

a = 12
