What might cause a shotgun to explode?

2 answers:

5 0

When you pull the trigger to shoot a shotshell from a shotgun or a cartridge from a rifle or handgun, the firing pin strikes the primer in the base of the cartridge or shotshell. This causes the primer to explode. The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder, which burns rapidly and converts to a gas.

An irreversible heat pump and a Carnot heat pump operate between the same two thermal reservoirs. Which heat pump has higher COP

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Carnot heat pump

Explanation:

Carnot heat pump is an ideal heat pump in which all processes are reversible and that consume minimum amount of work to and produces maximum amount of heating effect compare to all real engine.And that is why COP of Carnot heat pump is more as compare to real heat pump.

All real heat pump are not perfectly reversible heat pump So this is also called irreversible heat pump .Due to irreversibility the COP of irreversible heat pump is always less than the COP of Carnot heat pump.

Kobotan [32]

Answer: So you are dealing with maximum and minimum weights and you want to know what MINIMUM number of supporting strands for this block and tackle system are needed I believe. If so you are dealing with economic imbalances Though we are not worrying about money Right? Right we need physics which Physics study matter and how it moves You would need 8 STRANDS

A multipurpose transformer has a secondary coil with several points at which a voltage can be extracted, giving outputs of 5.60,

Rudik [331]

Answer:

for 5.6V 9 turns, for 12.0V 19 turns, for 480V 755 turns

Explanation:

Vp/Vs= Np/Ns

Vp: Primary voltage

Vs: Secondary Voltage

Np: number of turns on primary side

Ns: number of turns on secondary side

for output 5.6V

140/5.6= 220/Ns

Ns= 8.8 or 9 Turns

for output 12.0V

140/12= 220/Ns

Ns= 18.9 or 19 turns

for output 480V

140/480= 220/Ns

Ns= 754.3 or 755 turns

The water in a 25-m-deep reservoir is kept inside by a 140-m-wide wall whose cross section is an equilateral triangle as shown i

koban [17]

Answer: (a) 9.00 Mega Newtons or 9.00 * 10^6 N

(b) 17.1 m

Explanation: The length of wall under the surface can be given by

$b=25m/sin(60)\\=28.867$

The average pressure on the surface of the wall is the pressure at the centeroid of the equilateral triangular block which can be then be calculated by multiplying it with the Plate Area which will provide us with the Resultant force.

$F(resultant) = Pavg ( A) = (Patm + \rho g h c)*A \\= [100000 N/m^2 + (1000 kg/m^3 * 9.81 m/s^2 * 25m/2)]* (140*25m/sin60)\\= 8.997*10^8 N \\= 9.0*10^8 N$

Noting from the Bernoulli equation that

$Po/\rho g sin60 = 100000/1000 * 9.81* sin(60) = 11.77 m \\ \\$

From the second image attached the distance of the pressure center from the free surface of the water along the surface of the wall is given by:

$Yp = s+\frac{b}{2} +\frac{b^2}{s+\frac{b}{2}+Po/\rho g sin60}= 0+\frac{28.87}{2} +\frac{28.87^2}{0+\frac{28.87}{2}+100000 /1000 *9.81 sin60} = 17.1 m$

Substituting the values gives us the the distance of the surface to be equal to = 17.1 m
