In 1865, Jules Verne proposed sending men to the Moon by firing a space capsule from a 220 m long cannon with final velocity of 10.78 km/s. What would have been the unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during launch?
The answer needs to be in
Number times g.
g = 9.81
I tried v^2 = 1/2(a)(220)
So v^2 = 110
Square root of 110 = 10.48..
Not correct..
Don't know what to do.
