The space shuttle starting from rest on the launch pad could reach a speed of 1000 metres per second after 45 seconds calculate the acceleration of the shuttle

Verified Answer :

Answer:

a = 22.22 m/s^2

Explanation:

Equation to use:

\(v_{f} = v_{i} + at\\\)

Knowns:

\(v_{f} = 1000m/s\\t = 45s\)

Solving for:

\(a = ?\)

Rearrange to solve for acceleration.

\(\frac{v_{f} -v_{i} }{t} = a\)

Plug in known values and solve.

\(\frac{1000-0}{45} = a \\a = 22.22\)

Don't forget the units.

a = 22.22m/s^2
