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

As more lamps are put into a series circuit, the overall current in the power sourceA) increases.B) decreases.C) stays the same.
Nikolay [14]

As more and more lamps are connected in parallel (and if the current does not produce heating inside the battery) their brightness stays the same. Each lamp has the same voltage across it. Each lamp added in parallel decreases the total resistance in the circuit, so additional current flows.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

we know that half life of an element is

T=0.693/λ

where λ is decay constant in order to find decay constant

λ=0.693/T

λ=0.693/8.04

λ=0.086

What is the target heart rate a female age 32
Airida [17]

Answer:

The normal resting heart rate for adults over the age of 10 years, including older adults, is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm). Highly trained athletes may have a resting heart rate below 60 bpm, sometimes reaching 40 bpm. The resting heart rate can vary within this normal range.

Explanation:

I hope that answers your question!
