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

Answer:

1800J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of the book  = 20N

Total distance covered  = 45m + 15m + 30m  = 90m

Unknown:

Total work performed on the books  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we must understand that work done is the force applied to move a body through a certain distance.

So;

    Work done  = Force x distance

  Work done  = 20 x 90  = 1800J

The initial volume reading in a graduated cylinder is 30 mL. The mass of an irregular shape of an unknown metal piece is 55.3 g.
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

7.9\frac{gr}{cm^3}

Explanation:

When we put the metal piece in the liquid (which is in the graduated cylinder), how much it goes up is equal to the volume of the piece we inserted.

So now we know that the volume of that piece of unknown metal is 7mL (which is the same as 7cm^3).

Density is \frac{mass}{volume}.

So the density of that piece of metal is \frac{55.3g}{7cm^3}

Which leaves us with a final density of 7.9\frac{gr}{cm^3}
