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

Define neuron and nerve<br>cell​
san4es73 [151]

Answer: Hi!

A neuron is a basic working unit of the brain. Neurons are special cells designed to transfer information to other nerve, muscle, or gland cells. They are pretty cool - looking too! (A slightly irregular circular shape with branches reaching out from all sides.) A neuron is a nerve cell. Nerve cells are the way of communication in the nervous system.

Hope this helps!

An airplane accelerates down a runmway at 2.9 m/s/s for 38.5 seconds
Serhud [2]

Given,

the initial velocity = 0 m /s.

acceleration = 3.20 m / s^2

time = 32.8 s

According to laws of motion.

s = ut + 1/2 at ^2

s = 1/2 at²

s=1/2(3.20)(32.8)²

s= 1721.344 m

the distance traveled before takeoff is 1731.3m
