Answer:
-60m/s²
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing to do is know the equation:
(Final velocity - initial (original) velocity) / time (seconds)
Next you check the units:
10 minutes = 600 seconds
Then you use the equation to solve the problem:
(4000 - 40000) = -36000
-36000 / 600 = -60
Units for acceleration = m/s²
Answer = -60m/s²
The value is negative because the satellite's velocity has decreased
Hope this helps.
