In order to determine the acceleration of the rocket, we can use the formula for acceleration, which is:
Acceleration = Change in velocity / Time taken
Given:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s (rocket starts from rest)
Final velocity (v) = 125 m/s
Time taken (t) = 10 seconds
Substitute the values into the formula:
Acceleration = (125 m/s - 0 m/s) / 10 s
Acceleration = 125 m/s / 10 s
Acceleration = 12.5 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the rocket is 12.5 m/s^2. This means that for every second the rocket is in motion, its speed increases by 12.5 meters per second.
