A rocket carrying a satellite is accelerating straight up from the earth's surface.At 1.35 sec after liftoff,the rocket clears the top of its launch platform 63m above the ground. After an additional 4.45sec, it is 1 km above the ground. calculate the magnitude of the average velocity at the end of first 5.8sec of its flight
---------------
It moved 1 km in 5.8 seconds
Avg speed = 1/5.8 km/sec
=~ 0.1724 km/sec
