Superman is off to visit Lois lane. He sees he's late and increases his flying speed. I know he defies the laws of physics anyway, but let's pretend, okay? If our lead-phobic super hero accelerates uniformly from 1210 m/s to 1600 m/s in 0.40 seconds, then what is his rate of acceleration

Answer:

975 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for rate of acceleration is

(Final velocity - intial velocity)/ time taken

If you plug in your data you will get 975 m/s^2

(1600 m/s -1210 m/s )/.4 s = 975 m^2
