Physics

skad [1K]3 years ago

Alternating compressions and rarefactions produce a wave. One compression and one rarefaction is called a wavelength.

Compression happens when molecules are forced, or pressed, together. Rarefaction occurs when molecules are given extra space and allowed to expand.

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.
Aneli [31]
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
