In the 1800's, writers suggested sending people to the Moonby firing a space capsule from a 206-m-long cannon with a launch speed of 10.9 km/s. What would be the unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during launch? Express your answer in m/s2.

In 1865, Jules Verne proposed sending men to the Moon by firing a space capsule from a 225-m-long cannon with final speed of 10.97 km/s. What would have been the unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch? (A human can stand an acceleration of 15g for a short time.) 402 m/s2 Compare your answer with the free-fall acceleration, 9.80 m/s2 402

In his 1865 science fiction novel From the Earth to the
Moon, Jules Verne described how three astronauts are shot to
the Moon by means of a huge gun. According to Verne, the aluminum
capsule containing the astronauts is accelerated by ignition of
nitrocellulose to a speed of 11 km/s along the gun barrel's length
of 220 m. (a) In g units, what is the
average acceleration of the capsule and astronauts in the gun
barrel? (b) Is that acceleration...
During the launch of Alan Shepard's Mercury mission (the USA's first human space flight), the Redstone rocket engine fired for 140 seconds. At that time the craft achieved a speed along its trajectory of 2.3 km/s. (a) What is the value of the average acceleration of the craft during that time? (b) Assuming the motion is along a line (we wi later talk about how to deal with the curved path), how far had the craft traveled during that time...
At launch a rocket ship weighs 4.5 million pounds. When it is launched from rest, it takes 8.00 s to reach 163 km/h ; at the end of the first 1.00 min, its speed is 1630 km/h. A. What is the average acceleration (in m/s2) of the rocket during the first 8.00 s? B. What is the average acceleration (in m/s2) of the rocket between 8.00 s and the end of the first 1.00 min? C. Assuming the acceleration is...
1a) A rocket ship in deep space accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 9.6 m/s2, which is close to the acceleration of gravity on earth and would give the sensation of near-normal gravity during the voyage.How long will it take the ship to reach 0.103c (c = speed of light, 3.0 x 108 m/s)? Your answer should be in s, but enter only the numerical part in the box. You can use exponential notation, if desired. For example,...
What are the Solutions to Part B of Chapter 2 of Tillery Physics 9th edition.......kinda pointless for you guys to only have the solutions that the book has already. 1. What was the average speed in km/h of a car that travels 400.0 km in 4.5 h? 2. What was the average speed in km/h of a boat that moves 15.0 km across a lake in 45 min? 3. How much would a 80.0 kg person weigh (a) on Mars,...
1. Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 20.0 m/s in 2.50 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 27.6 m/s. Assume the acceleration is constant until the top speed is reached and is zero thereafter. Let the +?+x direction point in the direction the cheetah runs. Express the cheetah's top speed ?top in miles per hour (mi/h)(mi/h) . vtop = Starting from a crouched position, how much time ?accel does it take a cheetah...
You are driving to the grocery store at 25 m/s . You are 110 m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. Assume that your reaction time is 0.70 s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. -How far are you from the intersection when you begin to apply the brakes? -What acceleration will bring you to rest right at the intersection? -How long does it take you to stop? A rock is tossed straight up with...
1. A car accelerates from zero to 105 km/h in 5.21 s. What is its average acceleration in km/h/s and m/s? 2. An object moving in the x-direction has a position described by the function x(t) - 6.30t + 8.70t2, where t is in seconds and x is in meters. What is the acceleration as a function of time? The figure shows the graph of v vs t for the motion of a motorcyle that starts from rest and moves...
