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.

Good science does not depend on interactions within the scientific community true or false
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

I would say that is false. Science can only be perfect after at least some sort of scientific communication and interaction.

A 23.3-kg mass is attached to one end of a horizontal spring, with the other end of the spring fixed to a wall. The mass is pull
sdas [7]

In spring mass system we know that angular frequency is given as

\omega = 2\pi f

f = 8.38 Hz

\omega = 2\pi(8.38)

\omega = 52.65  rad/s

now we know that speed of SHM at its extreme position is given by

v = A\omega

here we know that

A = 17.5 cm

v = 0.175 (52.65)

v = 9.21 m/s

so maximum speed is 9.21 m/s
