Explanation:
Assuming constant acceleration, the average speed is:
v_avg = ½ (v + v₀)
v_avg = ½ (300 m/s + 0 m/s)
v_avg = 150 m/s
The distance equals the average speed times the time:
Δx = v_avg t
0.60 m = 150 m/s × t
t = 0.004 s
Acceleration is the change in velocity over time:
a = (v − v₀) / t
a = (300 m/s − 0 m/s) / 0.004 s
a = 75,000 m/s²
