Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. It defines how much the velocity is changing. The acceleration can be negative and positive. Negative acceleration is when the object slows down, while positive while the object goes faster.
<span>A ball moving at a constant speed around a circular track produces acceleration. </span>
Acceleration is a derived unit because it is derived from two quantities : Velocity and time.
We know, acceleration = Change in velocity/Time

Answer:
6.86 meters
Explanation:
Let the compression of the string be represented by x, and the height of projection of the toy rocket be represented by h.
So that;
x = 9 cm = 0.09 m
In its rest position (i.e before the launch), the spring has a stored potential energy which is given as;
PE =
K
=
x 830 x 
= 415 x 0.0081
= 3.3615
The potential energy in the string = 3.36 Joules
Also,
PE = mgh
where: m is the mass, g is the gravitational force and h the height.
m = 50 g = 0.05 kg, g = 9.8 m
Thus,
PE = 0.05 x 9.8 x h
3.3615 = 0.05 x 9.8 x h
3.3615 = 0.49h
⇒ h = 
= 6.8602
The height of the toy rocket would be 6.86 meters.
