-- The total distance between the towns = 460 km.
-- For the first 3 hours, he travels at an average speed of 60 km/hr. During that time, he covers (60 km/hr) x (3 hrs) = 180 km.
-- At that point, he still has (460km - 180km) = 280 km to go.
-- If he drives that 280km at an average speed of 70 km/hr, it'll take him (280km)/(70km/hr) = 4 hrs to cover it.
-- His total time for the whole trip is (3 hours for the first part) + (4 hours for the last part) = <em>7 hours</em>.
The distance that is traveled by the astronaut given that the motion is free-fall can be calculated through the equation,
d = Vot + 0.5at²
where d is the distance, Vo is the initial velocity, t is the time, and a is the acceleration. Substituting the known,
6 = (0 m/s)(2.7 s) + 0.5(a)(2.7 s)²
Determining the value of a,
a = 1.646 m/s²
ANSWER: 1.646 m/s²
