In his novel From the Earth to the Moon (1865), Jules Verne describes a spaceship that is blasted out of a cannon, called the Columbiad, with a speed of 12,000 yards>s. The Columbiad is 900 ft long, but part of it is packed with explosives, so the spaceship accelerates over a distance of only 700 ft. Estimate the acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during launch. Give your answer in m>s2

In a laboratory, nakisha mixes sodium hydroxide solution with an indicator called phenolphthalein. when combined, they create a pink solution. nakisha wonders if mixing other solutions with phenolphthalein will also create this pink color. how could she use the scientific inquiry process to explore it further?

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.
