Question

During a launch, a space shuttle increases its speed starting from 6 seconds to

17 seconds. The space shuttle's speed increased from 25 m/s to 63 m/s. What
was the average acceleration of the shuttle?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Average acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (63 m/s − 25 m/s) / (17 s − 6 s)

a ≈ 3.45 m/s²
