Question

A satellite's speed is 10,000 m/s. After 1 min, it is 5,000 m/s. What is the satellite's acceleration?

Answer 1

Answer:

- 83.33 m per second square

Explanation:

Initial velocity u = 10,000 m/s

Final Velocity v = 5,000 m/s

Time t = 1 minutes = 60 seconds

Acceleration a =?

$\because \: a = \frac{v - u}{t} \\ \\ = \frac{5000 - 10000}{60} \\ \\ = \frac{ - 5000}{60} \\ \\ a = - 83.33 \: m {s}^{ - 2}$
