When we give a quick push to the spacecraft, we apply a force in a short time. This is equivalent to saying that we give an impulse to the spacecraft. As the momentum theorem says the impulse that we give to the spacecraft is equal to the change in its momentum
(F/\Delta t) = \Delta P
where the momentum is defined as the product between the mass and velocity.
P =mv
Therefore when we apply a quick push the speed of the spacecraft will change from zero to a constant nonzero value.

A rocket ship leaves Earth's atmosphere. Its initial velocity is less than its final velocity. What is this an example of?
77julia77 [94]
I believe this would be an example of positive acceleration as the initial velocity of the rocket is less than the final velocity, indicating that the rocket is accelerating and thus is positive.

What is the acceleration of a rock at the top of its trajectory when thrown straight upward. explain whether or not the answer i
zvonat [6]

The acceleration of the rock is the gravitational acceleration due to earth which is around 9.8 m/s^2. As the rock travels upwards it is working against the constant force of gravity and when it reaches the top it is the force of gravity that will cause a cause in the direction of the rocks velocity and cause it to accelerate towards earth. Using the equation a = F/m, the acceleration due to gravity exerts a force per unit mass on an object causing the object to accelerate, anything above earth surface will therefore have an external gravitational force action on it (in terms of projectile motion). So at the top of the rocks trajectory, the acceleration of the rock will be g (9.8) as a constant force is gravity is exerted on the rock throughout its path.
