Bullets spin when shot from a rifle or handgun. What causes this spinning?

Physics
1 answer:
tamaranim1 [39]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder. Gas converted from the burning powder rapidly expands in the cartridge. The expanding gas forces the bullet out of the cartridge and down the barrel with great speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin as it travels out of the barrel.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

1. 571.43m/s

2. 142.9m and 342.9m

Explanation:

1.Take the difference in time.

1.2-0.7=0.7 seconds

Take the distance between them and divide with differnce in time.

400÷0.7=571.43 seconds.

2.Take the time of the two men and divide by two.

0.5÷2= 0.25 secs

1.2÷2= 0.6 secs

multiply each with the velocity.

0.25×571.43=142.9m

0.6×571.43=342.9m

Semiconductors can simplistically be thought of as an intermediate state between insulators and conductors. In a semiconductor,
Triss [41]

Answer:

The semiconductor rod will conduct electricity

Explanation:

Glass rod does not conduct electricity. Glass is one of the best insulators of electricity. But when a glass rod is replace with a semi conductor, then the semi conductor rod starts conducting electricity as the electrons are free to move.

Semi conductors are special materials in which the energy band lies in between the conductor and the non conductor. The conductivity of a semi conductor increases with the increasing temperature.

In an semi conductor the electrons are free to move and as they starts moving they conduct electricity. Thus a semi conductor rod replacing a glass rod conducts electricity.

Find the acceleration of a hamster when it increases its velocity from rest to 8.0 m/s in 3.0 s .
Eva8 [605]
<span>Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time.
We can find acceleration a, by the following formula

a=v-u/t

where,
v is the final velocity (in this question v=8.0 m/s)
u is the initial velocity (since the hamster starts from rest, u=0)
t is the time taken (i,e 3.0 second)
now by applying the formula we have,

a = 8.0 - 0 / 3
= 8 / 3
= 2.65 m/s</span>²<span> 

The acceleration is 2.65 meters per second squared</span>

A toy roller coaster cart has a mass of 2kg. The track of the roller coaster has a semicircular valley with a radius of 1.2 mete
kirza4 [7]

Answer:106.6N

Explanation:

Centripetal force is a force that cause a body to move along a circular path in a field. The body possesses a mass and velocity(since it's moving) and also radius alone the circular path on which it moves.

Given mass (m) = 2kg, velocity (v) = 8m/s and radius (r) = 1.2m

Centripetal acceleration(a)= v²/r

Centripetal force = ma = mv²/r

Substituting this values in the formula above we have;

Centripetal force = 2×8²/1.2m

Centripetal acceleration = 128/1.2

= 106.6N
