If a rocket-powered sled is accelerated to a speed of 440 m/s in 2.20 seconds, then what is the acceleration?

 a = 200 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The initial speed of rocket-powered sled, u = 0

The final speed of rocket-powered sled, v = 440 m/s

Time taken to reach final speed, t = 2.20 s

The acceleration of the body is given by the change in velocity by time

                                       a = (v - u) / t

                                          = (440 - 0) / 2.20

                                          = 200 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the rocket-powered sled, a = 200 m/s²
