Answer:
The answer to the question is
3340800 m far
Explanation:
To solve the question, we note that acceleration = 29 m/s²
Time of acceleration = 8 minutes
Then if the shuttle starts from rest, we have
S = u·t+0.5·a·t² where u = 0 m/s = initial velocity
S = distance traveled, m
a = acceleration of the motion, m/s²
t = time of travel
S = 0.5·a·t² = 0.5×29×(8×60)² = 3340800 m far
