Launching satellites into space using rockets is expensive, prompting some engineers and scientists to consider fi ring satellites into space using what is essentially a very powerful gun. In one recent design, the gun would be 1100 m long and the satellite would leave the gun with a speed of 6000 m/s. (a) What is the acceleration of the satellite while it moves though the gun (assume a is constant)? (b) Do you think that a human astronaut could survive such a launch?
