Answer:

a. The acceleration of the rocket-powered sled is 242.62 m/s²

b. The distance of the sled travels 812.52 m

Explanation:

In this problem, we are to solve for the acceleration and distance of a rocket-powered sled using a simple formula for acceleration and distance.

Formula to use

a. a = v/t

b. d = vt

where

a     is the acceleration, the unit is in m/s²

v     is the velocity, the unit is in m/s

t      is the time, the unit is in seconds (s)

d     is the distance, the unit is in meter (m)

Given information

v = 444 m/s

t = 1.83 seconds

a = ?

d = ?

Solving the problem

a. First, let us solve for the acceleration of the rocket-powered sled using the given information

a = v/t

Then substitute the given data

a = 444 m/s / 1.83 s

a = 242.62 m/s²

b. Finally, let us solve the distance traveled by the sled. Let us use the given formula

d = vt

Then substitute the given data

d = (444 m/s)(1.83 s)

d = 812.52 m

Therefore, the distance traveled by the rocket-powered sled is 812.52 m
