Find the total change in the planets velocity

Reference no: EM13541336

Over a time interval of 1.92 years, the velocity of a planet orbiting a distant star reverses direction, changing from +22.2 km/s to -20.5 km/s. Find (a) the total change in the planet's velocity (in m/s) and (b) its average acceleration (in m/s2) during this interval. Include the correct algebraic sign with your answers to convey the directions of the velocity and the acceleration.
