Johns · Answer 1

Acceleration = change of speed / change in time = (v2 - v1) / (t2 - t1) = (4,5 km/s - 0 km/s) / 40 s = 0,1125 km / s^2 = 112,5 m/s^2

112,5 m/s^2 / earth's acceleration which is 9,8 m/s^2 = 11,5

So, this acceleration is 11,5 times bigger than earth's acceleration. The answer is 11,5g
