Question

Hi! Can you help me? :) A satellite's speed is 10,000 m/s. After 1 min, it is 5,000 m/s. What is the satellite's acceleration? Thanks!!

Answer 1

a = ΔV/Δt = (5000-10000)/60 = -500/6 = -83.(3) m/sec^2

Answer 2

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=-83.33\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the satellite, u = 10000 m/s

Final speed of the satellite, v = 5000 m/s

Time taken, t = 1 min = 60 seconds

Acceleration of the satellite is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{5000-10000}{60}$

$a=-83.33\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the pumpkin is $-83.33\ m/s^2$. Hence, this is the required solution.
