a meteoroid changed velocity from 1.0 km/s to 1.8 km/s in 0.03 seconds what is the acceleration of the meteoroid?

Acceleration is  change in velocity per secod, so:

Change in velocity is:  (1.8 - 1.0)

Time = .03

so acceleration in this instance:

 

(1.8 - 1.0)  /  .03    =    .8/.03   =     26.6666 km/sec^2
