6. One minute after takeoff, a rocket carrying the space shuttle into outer space reaches a speed of 447 m/s.
What was the average acceleration of the rocket during that initial minute?

Respuesta :

Answer:

acceleration of the rocket is given as

[tex]a = 7.45 m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

As we know that rocket starts from rest and then reach to final speed of 447 m/s after t = 1 min

so we have

[tex]v_i = 0[/tex]

[tex]v_f = 447 m/s[/tex]

[tex]t = 1 min = 60 s[/tex]

so we have

[tex]a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{447 - 0}{60}[/tex]

[tex]a = 7.45 m/s^2[/tex]
