Question

What is the acceleration of the meteoroid?Note: unit is m/s not km/s

Answer 1

`43m/s^2`

Step-by-step explanation

To find the acceleration of the meteoroid, we have to apply the formula for acceleration:

`a=(v_2-v_1)/(t)`

where v1 and v2 are the initial and final velocities, and t is the time taken

Therefore, we have that:

`\begin{gathered} a=(2.8-1.5)/(0.03) \\ a=(1.3)/(0.03) \\ a\approx43m/s^2 \end{gathered}`

That is the acceleration.
