Answer:
Acceleration, [tex]a=-83.33\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
It is given that,
Initial speed of the satellite, u = 10000 m/s
Final speed of the satellite, v = 5000 m/s
Time taken, t = 1 min = 60 seconds
Acceleration of the satellite is given by :
[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}[/tex]
[tex]a=\dfrac{5000-10000}{60}[/tex]
[tex]a=-83.33\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the acceleration of the pumpkin is [tex]-83.33\ m/s^2[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
