Question

For a trip to the Moon, a rocket must lift off from

Earth's surface. Suppose it takes 5 minutes for the
rocket to reach a velocity of 6,000 m/s upward from
a starting velocity of 0 m/s. What is the rocket's
acceleration?

Answer 1

20 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

final velocity (v) = 6000m/s

initial velocity (u) = 0m/s

time taken (t) = 5 minutes

= 5×60second

= 300second

acceleration(a) = ?

we know that,

a = (v-u)/t

= (6000-0)/300

= 20 m/s^2
