    Velocity = (displacement) / (time)

    Velocity = (change in location) / (time for the change), and direction of the change

    Displacement = (location at the end) minus (location at the start)

    Displacement = (461.6 km North) - (zero) = 461.6 km North

    Velocity = (461.6 km North) / (44.7 sec)

    Velocity = (461.6 / 44.7) km/sec North

    Velocity = 10.33 km/sec North

    That's right about 23,100 miles per hour! That rocket is really honkin!

    With just a little more oomph, that rocket could go up and NEVER come back. The 'escape velocity' from Earth is 11.2 km/sec, and this rocket already has 92% of it!

    10.32 km/s

    (V = distance/time)
