The shuttles main engine provides 154,360 kg of thrust for 8 minutes. If the shuttle accelerated at 29m/s/s, and fires for at least 8 minutes, then how far does the shuttle go

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer to the question is

3340800 m far

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that acceleration = 29 m/s²

Time of acceleration = 8 minutes

Then if the shuttle starts from rest, we have

S = u·t+0.5·a·t² where u = 0 m/s = initial velocity

S = distance traveled, m

a = acceleration of the motion, m/s²

t = time of travel

S = 0.5·a·t² = 0.5×29×(8×60)² = 3340800 m far
