Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 96P
In his 1865 science fiction novel From the Earth to the Moon Jules Verne described how three astronauts are shot to the Moon by means of a huge gun. According to Verne, the aluminum capsule containing the astronauts is accelerated by ignition of nitrocellulose to a speed of 11 km/s along the gun barrel's length of 220 m. (a) In g units, what is the average acceleration of the capsule and astronauts in the gun barrel? (b) Is that acceleration tolerable or deadly to the astronauts?
A modem version of such gun-launched spacecraft (although without passengers) has been proposed. In this modern version, called the SHARP (Super High Altitude Research Project) gun, ignition of methane and air shoves a piston along the gun's tube, compressing hydrogen gas that then launches a rocket. During this launch, the rocket moves 3.5 km and reaches a speed of 7.0 km/s. Once launched, the rocket can be fired to gain additional speed, (c) In g units, what would be the average acceleration of the rocket within the launcher? (d) How much additional speed is needed (via the rocket engine) if the rocket is to orbit Earth at an altitude of 700 km?

The Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy once each 2.60 × 108 years, with a roughly circular orbit averaging 3.00 × 104 light years in radius. (A light year is the distance traveled by light in 1 y.)
Calculate the average speed of the Sun in its galactic orbit in m/s.
The acceleration of a particle is a constant. At t=0 the velocity of the particle is (14.91 + 18.4ĵ) m/s. At t = 4.6 s the velocity is 11.4j m/s. (Use the following as necessary: t. Do not include units in your answers.)

A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 32 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splash 2.72 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock (in m/s)?
Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.
