- 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 modern 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…arrow_forwardSelect the correct option. Physicist Robert H. Goddard of Clark University was the creator of the technology used by modern rockets (those that are powered by liquid fuels and not by gunpowder). In a Smithsonian Institute publication, the professor said that the rockets would serve, in addition to transporting meteorological measurement equipment beyond the Earth's atmosphere, to travel to the Moon. Due to this, on January 13, 1920, a review "A severe strain on credulity" was published in the "Topics of the Times" of the New York Times, where the possibility of the operation of the rocket outside the Earth's atmosphere is questioned since without a resisting atmosphere, the propulsion engines could not fly, thus mocking Professor Goddard's knowledge. The New York Times published 49 years later (on July 17, 1969, when the Apollo 11 astronauts headed for the Moon): "The Times regrets the mistake." That error was due to the fact that the New York Times considered that: A) would receive a…arrow_forwardIt was found out that on a certain exo planet in Andromeda galaxy, the gravitational acceleration is 19.6 m/s2, and it varies as a function of elevation above the surface given by the expression g=c−bz−az2,wherec= 19.6 m/s2,b= 5.0×10−5s−2, and a= 1.0×10−2m−1s−2.Determine the height above the exo planet’s ground level where the weight of an object will decrease by 1.2 percentarrow_forward
