In a novel from 1866 the author describes a spaceship that is blasted out of a cannon with a speed of about 11.000 m/s. The spac

eship is approximately 274 m long but part of it is packed with gunpowder, so it accelerates over a distance of only 213 m. What was the acceleration (in m/s2) experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during the launch?

Answer:

a=0.284\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initially, the spaceship was at rest, u = 0

Final velocity of the spaceship, v = 11 m/s

Distance accelerated by the spaceship, d = 213 m

We need to find the acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during the launch. It is a concept based on the equation of kinematics. Using the third equation of motion to find acceleration.

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}\\\\a=\dfrac{(11)^2-(0)^2}{2\times 213}\\\\a=0.284\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship is 0.284\ m/s^2.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

f_n=3.75N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Frictional force F=0.150N

Coefficient of kinetic friction \mu=0.04

Generally the equation for Normal for is mathematically given by

 f_n=\frac{F}{\mu}

Therefore

 f_n=\frac{0.150}{0.04}

 f_n=3.75N

What are the conditions of the thermonuclear fusion reaction in the sun?​
Verizon [17]

High temperature gives the hydrogen atoms enough energy to overcome the electrical repulsion between the protons. Fusion requires temperatures of about 100 million Kelvin (approximately six times hotter than the sun's core).
