Homework Statement
What is the acceleration of a rocket that travels uniformly from rest and travels 650m in the first 12 seconds.
Homework Equations
[tex]s=v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
[tex]a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I pluged the acceleration equation into the first equation.
[tex]s=0(12)+\frac{1}{2}\frac{650}{12}12^2[/tex]
that equaled 7800 m/s squared. That is so far off. The answer is 9 m/s squared.
