Question

What is it's speed at this time? A rocket blasts off and moves straight upward from the launch pad with constant acceleration. After 2.7s the rocket is at a height of 86m

Answer 1

Answer: 31.85 m/s

Explanation:

Since we are talking about constant acceleration, we can use the following equation to find the speed $s$ of the rocket:

$s=\frac{d}{t}$

Where:

$d=86 m$ is the distance the rocket has traveled

$t=2.7 s$ is the time in which the rocket has traveled the distance $d$

Solving the equation with the given data:

$s=\frac{86 m}{2.7 s}$

$s=31.85 m/s$ This is the rocket's speed
