the space shuttle releases a space telescope into orbit around the earth. the telescope goes from being stationary to traveling to a speed of 1700 m/s in 25 seconds whats the acceleration of the satellite?

a = 68 m/s²

Explanation:

Definition:

The acceleration is rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Formula:

a = Vf - Vi/t

a = acceleration

Vf = final velocity

Vi = initial velocity

t = time

Units:

The unit of acceleration is m. s⁻².

Given dа ta:

a = Vf - Vi/t

a = 1700 m/s - 0 m/s / 25 sec

a = 1700 m/s / 25 sec

a = 68 m/s²
