A rocket achieves a lift-off velocity of 500.0 m/s from rest in 30.0 seconds. Calculate the average acceleration of the rocket.

Answer:
The average acceleration is 16.6 m/s² ⇒ 1st answer
Explanation:
A rocket achieves a lift-off velocity of 500.0 m/s from rest in
30.0 seconds
The given is:
→ The initial velocity = 0
→ The final velocity = 500 meters per seconds
→ The time is 30 seconds
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of the rocket
→ [tex]a=\frac{v-u}{t}[/tex]
where a is the acceleration, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity
and t is the time
→ u = 0 , v = 500 m/s , t = 30 s
Substitute these values in the rule
→ [tex]a=\frac{500-0}{30}=\frac{500}{30}=16.6[/tex] m/s²
The average acceleration is 16.6 m/s²
