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.

A single strain gage has a nominal resistance of 120 ohm. For a quarter bridge with 120 ohm fixed resistors, strain gauge factor
natita [175]

Answer:

Output voltage is 1.507 mV

Solution:

As per the question:

Nominal resistance, R = 120\Omega

Fixed resistance, R = 120\Omega

Gauge Factor, G.F = 2.01

Supply Voltage, V_{s} = 3\ V

Strain, \epsilon = 1000\times 10^{-6}\ strain

Now,

To calculate the output voltage, V_{o}:

WE know that strain is given by:

\epsilon = \frac{(R + R')^{2}V_{o}}{RR'V_{s}\times G.F}

Thus

V_{o} = \frac{RR'V_{s}\epsilon \times G.F}{(R + R')^{2}}

Now, substituting the suitable values in the above eqn:

V_{o} = \frac{120\times 120\times 3\times 1000\times 10^{-6}\times 2.01}{(120 + 120)^{2}}

V_{o} = 1.507\ mV

A 25 N force is used to push a box across a floor against a frictional force of 14 N. The box
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

m = 44~Kg

Explanation:

<u>Net Force</u>

Newton's second law explains the dynamics principles when a number of forces are applied to an object.

The net force vector is the sum of the individual vector forces applied. The magnitude of the net force is related to the magnitude of the acceleration of the body as follows:

Fn=m.a

Furthermore, the acceleration can be calculated if we know the kinematic behavior of the body:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

Where vf, vo, and t are the final speed, initial speed, and time, respectively.

The box is pushed across the floor with a force of 25 N against a frictional force of 14 N.

The net force applied to the box is:

Fn = 25 N - 14 N = 11 N

We also know the box is accelerated from rest (vo=0) to vf=4 m/s in t=16 seconds, thus:

\displaystyle a=\frac{4-0}{16}

a = 0.25~m/s^2

From the equation:

Fn=m.a

We solve for m:

\displaystyle m=\frac{Fn}{a}=\frac{11~N}{0.25~m/s^2}

\mathbf{m = 44~Kg}

What are two reasons the period of Venus is shorter than the period of earth
Setler79 [48]

Answer: The planet, named after the Roman goddess of art and beauty, can actually be bright enough to cast shadows on a moonless night. It appears so close to the sun because its orbital radius is smaller than the Earth's, and because it also moves faster than Earth, its orbital period is shorter.
