Assume the car has constant acceleration a and initial velocity 0. Then the velocity at time t will be a*t, so if we call the distance travelled at time t, x, we get the following identity:
a*t = dx/dt
This differential equation can be solved in any number of ways to yield
1/2 * a * t^2 = x
where the constant of integration is zero since the distance travelled at time 0 is 0 by definition.
Therefore we have:
a = 2*x/t^2 = 2*5m/(4.5s)^2 = 40/81 ms^-2
or about half a meter per second squared
Acceleration = change in speed per unit of time = (15-0)/10 = 1.5 metres/sec2
A rocket that travels 9000 meters in 12.12 seconds moves at 742.5742 meters/second which is approx 1660 mph
Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change)Acceleration = (96 - 32) / 8 = 64/8 = 8 meters per second2

what is the speed of a rocket that travels 9000 meters in 12.12 seconds
1.667 metres per second squared
Acceleration = (change in speed)/(time for the change) = (15-5)/(6) = 10/6 = 12/3 meters per second2
Acceleration = change in speed per unit of time = (15-0)/10 = 1.5 metres/sec2
If an object moves 50 meters in 5 seconds, its average speed is 50/5 = 10 meters per second.
If he started out from "rest" (zero speed), then his average acceleration for the 5 seconds is50/5 = 10 meters per second2
"470 meters per second" is a speed, not an acceleration. Assuming you mean "470 meters per second square", that is the same as a change of 470 meters per second every second. Just multiply by the number of seconds to get the change in speed."470 meters per second" is a speed, not an acceleration.

A rocket that travels 9000 meters in 12.12 seconds moves at 742.5742 meters/second which is approx 1660 mph
0.3 meters per second
If you divide the meters by the seconds, you get the average speed. But that would be in meters / second, not in meters per second squared, which is a unit of acceleration.
Average acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change)= (80) / (20) = 4 meters per second2
Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change)Acceleration = (96 - 32) / 8 = 64/8 = 8 meters per second2
Just divide the distance by the time. (In this case, the speed in the answer will be in meters per second.)
