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

Physics

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.

A diamond with a mass of 45 g hangs motionless from a chain. what is the upward force of the chain on the diamond?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
The upward force of the chain on the diamond would be the tension in the chain, and this tension would have to support the weight of the 45g that hangs from the chain.

mass = 45 g = 45/1000 kg = 0.045kg

Weight = mg = 0.045 * 10 ≈ 0.45N,            g ≈ 10 m/s²

<span>So the upward force is ≈ </span><span>0.45N. </span>

A 2.3 m long wire weighing 0.075 N/m is suspended directly above an infinitely straight wire. The top wire carries a current of
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic field near current carrying wire

= \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{2i}{r}

i is current , r is distance from wire

B =  10⁻⁷ x \frac{2\times49}{r}

force on second wire per unit length

B I L , I is current in second wire , L is length of wire

=  10⁻⁷ x \frac{2\times49}{r} x 33 x 1

= 3234 x \frac{10^{-7}}{r}

This should balance weight of second wire per unit length

3234 x \frac{10^{-7}}{r} = .075

r = \frac{3234}{.075} x 10⁻⁷

= .0043 m

= .43 cm .
