The kinetic energy is given by:
We know the mass and the maximum speed, plugging their values in the expression above we have:
Therefore, the answer is d.

Answer:
a.) a = 0 ms⁻²
b.) a = 9.58 ms⁻²
c.) a = 7.67 ms⁻²
Explanation:
a.)
Acceleration (a) is defined as the time rate of change of velocity
Given data
Final velocity = v₂ = 0 m/s
Initial velocity = v ₁ = 0 m/s
As the space shuttle remain at rest for the first 2 minutes i.e there is no change in velocity so,
a = 0 ms⁻²
b.)
Given data
As the space shuttle start from rest, So initial velocity is zero
Initial velocity = v₁ = 0 ms⁻¹
Final velocity = v₂ = 4600 ms⁻¹
Time = t = 8 min = 480 s
By the definition of Acceleration (a)
a = 9.58 ms⁻²
c.)
Given data
As the space shuttle is at rest for first 2 min then start moving, So initial velocity is zero
Initial velocity = v₁ = 0 ms⁻¹
Final velocity = v₂ = 4600 ms⁻¹
Time = t = 10 min = 600 s
By the definition of Acceleration (a)
a = 7.67 ms⁻²
If the resistance of the Air is ignored, we can use the theory given by Galileo in which he warned that the thermal velocity of a body in free fall was given by
Where
g = Gravitational acceleration
t = time
As we can see the speed of objects in free fall is indifferent to the position that is launched (as long as the resistance of the air is ignored) or its mass.
Both bodies will end with the same thermal speed.
