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…
If a spaceship traveling through deep space with the velocity vector as a function of time: v = (2t i +4t j+ 6t k) m/s. (time is in seconds). Given the initial position of the spaceship is r0= (20 i− 50 j − 100 k ) m. At what time would the spaceship be the closest to the origin? and What would the acceleration of the spaceship be at this instant? If you can express the acceleration in Cartesian vector form. Also ? is the unit vector in the z-direction.
