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

where are the vectors ?

truck y has a greater velocity than truck x.
