Engineers 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 4.1 km/s, moving it through only 1.6 cm. 1. What acceleration does the gun give this object? 2.Over what time interval does the acceleration take place? and what does µ mean?

a) use vf^2=v0^2+2ad where vf=final speed = 4100 m/sv0=initial speed =0a = accelerationd=distance traveled = 0.016 m 4100^2=0+2a(0.016)a=4100^2/2(0.016) = 525,312.5 m/s/sb) acceleration = change in speed/timetime = change in speed/acceltime = (4100m/s-0)/5.25x10^5m/s/s = 7.8x10^(-3) su can mean several things in scienceas a prefix in a unit, it means micro, or one millionth, so um is a micrometer or a millionth of a meterit can also represent coefficient of frictionit can also represent the subatomic particle called the muon, but I am guessing it is not that in this casehope this helps...
