Scientist are developing new types of guns that might someday be used to launch satellites as if they were bullets . One such gun can give a small object a velocity of 3.5 km/s, moving it through only 2.0 cm. What acceleration does the gun give this object?Extracted text: 6.

Your answer

Preeti · Accepted Answer

Initial Velocity u = 0
Final velocity v = 3.5 x 103 m/s
S =2 cm or 2 x 10-2  m
Acceleration (a) = ?
From equation of motion 
v2 – u2 = 2as
so,
a = v2 – u2
          2s
  = (3.5 x 103)2 – 0
         2 x 2 x 10-2  
= 3.5 x 3.5 x 108
          4
= 3.0625 x 108  m/s2
