Average acceleration
A space shuttle sits on the launch pad for 2.0 minutes, and then goes from rest to 4600 m/s in 8.0 minutes. Treat its motion as straight-line motion. What is the average acceleration of the shuttle (a) during the first 2.0 minutes, (b) during the 8.0 minutes the shuttle moves, and (c) during the entire 10 minute period?
I hope som1 can help:confused:

Hi, CaliBlue!
If you're looking for someone to help you solve the problem, I would suggest that you post first your calculations and what you think might be the answers. If you do that, someone knowledgeable will be more likely to come along to help you to solve what you're asking.
Thanks!

For each of these, just remember that the definition of acceleration is "change in velocity per unit time." So, to find the average acceleation for a certain period, simply take the change in velocity that occurs ( ), and divide by the time ( ):

Hi, ebaines!
I would like to know where you got the advanced math figures that you used in your post, please?
They're not images, and I'm really curious...
Thanks!

Using LaTex... see: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/math-s...las-50415.html
Follow the link in that message to the LaTex tutorial. It's a pretty cumbersome tool, but is sometimes preferable to using plain text.

Average Acceleration/ Top Speed
[ 2 Answers ]
okay so I don't know how to do this question at all.
it says : John begins to walk faster and accelerates at a rate of 5km/h. How long did it take him to reach a top speed of 12km/h?
A=5
V2=12
t=?
V2=?
But if I use the acceleration equation I have Aav=delta V/delta T
