Question

A satellite’s original velocity is 40000

Answer 1

Answer:

-60m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do is know the equation:

(Final velocity - initial (original) velocity) / time (seconds)

Next you check the units:

10 minutes = 600 seconds

Then you use the equation to solve the problem:

(4000 - 40000) = -36000

-36000 / 600 = -60

Units for acceleration = m/s²

Answer = -60m/s²

The value is negative because the satellite's velocity has decreased

Hope this helps.
