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 moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.

explanation:

scientific laws are the result of testing theories and proving them to be facts.
