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.) compare your answer with the free-fall acceleration, 9.80 m/s^2.

The acceleration experienced by the astronauts would be 27908.37142 times the acceleration due to gravity on Earth

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity = 10.97 km/s = 10970 m/s

s = Displacement = 220 m

a = Acceleration

Equation of motion

The magnitude of acceleration is 273502.04 ft/s²

g = 9.80 m/s²

15 g = 15×9.80 = 147 N

So, the acceleration experienced by the astronauts would be 27908.37142 times the acceleration due to gravity on Earth

the five characteristics of adolescence are biological growth and development, and undefined status, increased decision making, increased pressure and the search of self.
