5. In order to launch an astronaut into space by using a 1.00km-long launch platform, the astronaut would need to reach a speed of 7900 m/s by the end of the platform. What would be the acceleration? Is this a safe method? (A sustained acceleration of 9800m/s2 for even a few seconds would be fatal)
