Question 805290: The space shuttle could blast off and reach an altitude of 2.0km in 15.0s. Assuming that the acceleration was uniform,what is the acceleration of the shuttle? What was its velocity at this point? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The space shuttle could blast off and reach an altitude of 2.0km in 15.0s. Assuming that the acceleration was uniform,what is the acceleration of the shuttle? What was its velocity at this point?
------------
s = at^2/2
2000 = a*15^2/2
a = 4000/225 =~ 17.778 m/sec/sec
-------------
v = at = 15*17.778
v = 266.67 m/sec
