A supersonic test rocket is launched from rest along a straight horizontal experimental track. The speed of the rocket increases uniformly from rest to 150 m s−1150\text{ m s}^{-1}150 m s−1. The rocket travels a distance of 0.625 km0.625\text{ km}0.625 km while accelerating.
Calculate the acceleration of the test rocket.
Practise AQA GCSE Physics Forces and motion with exam-style questions for Foundation and Higher tier. 83 questions covering Describing motion along a line, Forces, accelerations and Newton's Laws of motion, and Forces and braking, matched to the AQA GCSE Physics (8463) specification and written in Paper 1 and Paper 2 style. Every question includes a full worked solution and mark scheme, so you can see where marks are awarded rather than just whether you got the answer right.
