Question

A satellite's speed is 10,000 m/s. After 1 min, it is 5,000 m/s. What is the satellite's acceleration?

Answer 1

- 83.33 m per second square

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial velocity u = 10,000 m/s

Final Velocity v = 5,000 m/s

Time t = 1 minutes = 60 seconds

Acceleration a =?

`\because \: a = (v - u)/(t) \\ \\ = (5000 - 10000)/(60) \\ \\ = ( - 5000)/(60) \\ \\ a = - 83.33 \: m {s}^( - 2)`
