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.) m/s2 Compare your answer with the free-fall acceleration, 9.80 m/s2 (i.e. how many times stronger than gravity is this force?). g

Answer:

The unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch is 2.7 x 10⁵ m/s².

How many times stronger than gravity is this force? 2.79 x 10⁴ g.

Explanation:

given information:

s = 220 m

final speed, vf = 10.97 km/s = 10970 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

he unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch

vf² = v₀²+2as, v₀ = 0

vf² = 2as

a =vf²/2s

  = (10970)²/(2x220)

  = 2.7 x 10⁵ m/s²

Compare your answer with the free-fall acceleration

a/g = 2.7 x 10⁵/9.8

a/g = 2.79 x 10⁴

a = 2.79 x 10⁴ g

An applied force<span> is a </span>force<span> that is </span>applied<span> to an object by a person or another object.
An attractive force is a force of an attraction (where object are attracted by each other). Gravitation is an example of attractive force.
</span>Normal force<span> is the component, perpendicular to the surface (surface being a plane) of contact.
</span><span>The softball experiences an applied force as a result of Amy’s throw. As the ball moves, it experiences attractive force from the air it passes through. It also experiences a downward pull because of the normal force.

A car speedometer has a 4% uncertainty. What is the range of possible speeds (in km/h) when it reads 110 km/h?
Kruka [31]
4% of 110 is 4.4. So the possible range of speeds is the interval from 110-4.4 till 110+4.4.
105.6 till 114.4

A 28-kg beginning roller skater is standing in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall, she is propelled backward with a ve
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

33.6 Ns backward.

Explanation:

Impulse: This can be defined as the product of force and time. The S.I unit of impulse is Ns.

From Newton's second law of motion,

Impulse = change in momentum

I = mΔv................................. Equation 1

Where I = impulse, m = mass of the skater, Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity.

Given: m = 28 kg, t = 0.8 s, Δv = -1.2-0 = -1.2 m/s (Note: the initial velocity of the skater = 0 m/s)

Substituting into equation 1

I = 28(-1.2)

I = -33.6 Ns

Thus the impulse = 33.6 Ns backward.
