Question

The space shuttle is accelerated off its launch pad to a velocity of 525 m/s in 18.0 seconds.

What is its average acceleration?

Answer 1

29.17m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity of a body with respect to time.

Acceleration = velocity/time

Given velocity of the space shuttle = 525m/s and time = 18.0seconds

Its average acceleration = 525/18

Its average acceleration (in m/s²) = 29.17m/s²
