Assume that an intercontinental ballistic missile goes from rest to a suborbital speed of 6.50 km/s in 60.0 s (the actual speed and time are classified). What is its average acceleration in m/s2 and in multiples of g (9.80 m/s2)?

An airplane covers a straight-line distance of 8.59 km in 30 .1 s, during which time it has a constant forward acceleration of 3.68 m/s2. What is the speed of the airplane, in m/s, at the beginning of the 30.1 s?
The acceleration of a particle is given by a = 2t-20, where a is in meters per second squared and t is in seconds. Determine the velocity
and displacement as functions of time. The initial displacement at t = 0 is so = -5 m, and the initial velocity is vo = 6 m/s. Once you have
determined the functions of time, answer the questions.
