Projectiles containing delicate equipment may b damaged if subjected to high accelerations. So these should be fired frm guns with long barrels than with guns with short barrels. 1. State 2 factors which affect the range of projectile fired from a gun. 2.explain why projectile fired from a long barelled gun is subject to less acceleration than projectile fired frm short barreled gun if the rangeis same for both cases

You can't just expect us to do your homework. If you need help, you need to show a decent attempt at a solution and explain where you're stuck.
 
We will gladly help and cooperate if there is a decent attempt at a solution. What have you done so far? Where are you stuck? What equations are relevant?
 
To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
