In 1998, NASA launched DS-1 (Deep Space 1). This spacecraft successfully flew by the asteroid 1992 KD. The propulsion system worked by ejecting argon ions at high speed. The propulsion system could increase the velocity by 7.2284x10^0 m/s per day. What was the average acceleration in m/s2, expressed to 4 significant figures?

To calculate the average acceleration, we need to use the formula:

Average acceleration = (Change in velocity) / (Time taken)

In this case, the change in velocity is given as 7.2284 × 10^0 m/s per day. However, we need to convert this to m/s^2 by dividing it by the time taken.

To convert the velocity to m/s^2, we need to know the time taken for this change to occur. Unfortunately, the question does not provide the time taken.

If you can provide the time taken or any additional information, I can help you calculate the average acceleration.
