Answer: The acceleration for the shuttle is 13 800m/s^2.

Explanation:

The answer is required is si unit which is m/s^2.

The first step is to convert to velocity to m/s, 1km=1000m therefore we have to multiply by 1000

5km/s=5000m/s

11.9km/s=11900m/s.

The formula for the acceleration is a=dv/t

a=11900-5000/0.5

a=13 800m/s

Good afternoon!

We can see that $\mathsf{2.25\times10^8\ \textless \ 3\times10^8 = c}$

The index of refraction can be calculated as:

$\mathsf{n = \dfrac{c}{v}}$

As we noted, $\mathsf{v \ \textless \ c}$ , and therefore:

$\mathsf{\dfrac{v}{v} \ \textless \ \dfrac{c}{v}}\\ \\ \\ \mathsf{\dfrac{c}{v} \ \textgreater \ 1}$

Beccause n = c/v, we have:

n > 1

B - Is more than 1.
