### Problem Statement

Assume that an MX missile goes from rest to a suborbital velocity of **4.50 km/s** in **50.0 s** (the actual speed and time are classified). What is its average acceleration in m/s²?

[Input Box] m/s²

What is its average acceleration in multiples of \( g \)?

[Input Box] \( g \)

### Explanation

This problem involves calculating the average acceleration of a missile as it accelerates from rest to a specified velocity over a given time. The acceleration is first calculated in meters per second squared (m/s²) and then expressed in multiples of the acceleration due to gravity (\( g \)). The input boxes are provided for entering your calculated answers.
