I just solved similar type of question. You can refer to my solution which I have attached
Answer:
General intelligence refers to the existence of a broad mental capacity that influences performance on cognitive ability measures.
Specific intelligence refers to a person's aptitude in individual 'modalities' or abilities rather than the more general understanding of intelligence.
Explanation:
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of linear motion. For this purpose we will define the speed as the distance traveled in a given period of time. Here the distance is equivalent to the orbit traveled around the earth, that is, a circle. Approaching the height of the aircraft with the radius of the earth, we will have the following data,



The circumference of the earth would be

Velocity is defined as,


Here
, then

Therefore will take
s or 506 hours, 19 minutes, 17 seconds
Personally, I agree with your answer, namely that the likely-intended event happening here is one of acceleration. Having said that, I also want to add: it pains me to see this type of wording because, clearly, it is vague and only invites confusion of the type you are talking about.
Good luck!
