For an uniformly accelerated motion, we can write
where
is the acceleration of this motion, which in this problem is the gravitational acceleration, with a negative sign because it points downward, against the direction of the motion; h=0.540 m is the distance covered by the flea, and 
is the initial velocity.
At the maximum height, the velocity is zero, so
. Therefore we can solve to find :
where
At the maximum height, the velocity is zero, so
Answer:
Acceleration:
Explanation:
The acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity:
where
u is the initial velocity
v is the final velocity
t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v
For the space probe in this problem, we have:
u = 100 ft/s (initial velocity)
v = 5000 ft/s (final velocity)
t = 0.5 s (time taken)
Therefore, the acceleration is
