Answer: 1.5 km/s²
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial speed Vi = 0 km/s
Final speed Vf = 12km/s
Acceleration A = ?
Time taken T = 8 seconds
Recall that acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time
i.e acceleration = (Vf - Vi)/T
A = (12km/s - 0km/s) / 8 seconds
A = 12km/s / 8 seconds
A = 1.5 km/s²
Thus, the acceleration of the rocket is 1.5 km/s²
