Asked by Tim
The space shuttle fleet was designed with two booster stages. If the first stage provides a thrust of 5.25 Mega-newtons and the space shuttle has a mass of 4,530,000 pound-mass, what is the acceleration of the spacecraft in miles per hour squared?

1000 poundmass=453kg
F=ma
a=f/m=5.24E6/(4.53E6lb*453kg/1E3lb
a= 5.24/4.53*453 *1E(6-6+3) m/s
= 2.55m/s
= 2.33m/s* 2.23(mile/hr /m/s)
= 5.20mile/hr
check all this math.

Something seems to be missing since it isn't the answer :/
i think you did some rounding early because by the end of the equation you have to round the answer to three significant figures
