Question

A rocket, blasting into space, accelerates at 2 m/s^2 for 20 seconds. What is its speed at the end of 20 seconds?​

Answer 1

Answer:

  Acceleration  =  (change in speed)  /  (time for the change)

Change in speed = (ending speed) - (beginning speed)

                           =     (3,600 mi/hr) - ( 0 )

                           =       3,600 mi/hr

                           =     same as  1 mile/second.

Acceleration  =  (1 mi/sec) / (10 sec)

                     =     0.1 mi/sec² .

But 1 mile = 5,280 ft,

so

                      0.1 mi/s²  =  528 ft/s²
