In 1865, jules verne proposed sending men to the moon by firing a space capsule from a 220-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.)

I'm going to assume that the 10.97 km/s is the velocity at the end of the cannon.

vi = 0
d = 220m
vf = 10.97 km/s = 10970 m/s
a = ???

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d
10970^2 = 0 + 2*a*220
10970^2 / 440 = a You are right this is a pretty big number.
2.73 * 10^5 = a

Example of energy transfer from potential to kinetic and back
Alex_Xolod [135]

Swimmer and Divers. The Potential energy is transferred into Kinetic energy, and allows the diver to submerge into the water. The Kinetic energy then allows the diver to submerge and dive into the water. Potential energy however, is needed to allow the diver to get back out of the water after diving to get up and go and dive again, and then the Kinetic energy is transferred back to Potential energy to repeat the process.

Hope :) -Emilie Xo this is right and it helps! Xo

A strong man and a weak man are trying to carry a ladder . How should they carry it in such a way that the weak person feels les
dsp73

Answer:

The strong person should carry the ladder at the  front end and the weak person should carry it at the back end.

Explanation:

this is because in such a case the strong person has to pull the ladder whereas the weak person at the back end have to push the ladder. In such case it is easier to push because the weak person can use the force of gravity of his own body for pushing the ladde.

However in case of pulling the ladder one has to overcome his own gravity to pull the heavy object

the magnitude of the magnetic field at point p for a certain electromagnetic wave is 2.21. What is the magnitude of the elctic f
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

6.63\times 10^8\ N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

The magnitude of magnetic field, B = 2.21

We need to find the magnitude of the electric field. Let it is E. So,

\dfrac{E}{B}=c\\\\E=Bc

Put all the values,

E=2.21\times 3\times 10^8\\\\=6.63\times 10^8\ N/C

So, the magnitude of the electric field is equal to 6.63\times 10^8\ N/C.
