Gun Fire Research Paper

721 Words3 Pages

Have you ever wondered what happens when a gun fires? I have been hunting for almost all my life and I have started to wonder about this. For my science fair project I 'm going to find the reaction of explosions. I also find this interesting because I want to make guns someday. I believe that understanding the Chemistry and Physics of explosions may help me to find the answer to my question. Chemical explosions are one of the coolest things on the planet. A chemical explosion is the sudden, loud, and violent release of energy that happens when something breaks apart in a way that sends flying around(Explosion). The chemical explosions starts from the chemical reaction(Getting a Bang Out of Breath Spray). . A chemical reaction is the way someone …show more content…

The Law of Inertia is the net force of the object greater than the gravity pulling it down and it will stay at rest until something happens(Getting a Bang Out of Breath Spray). It stays at rest until an unbalanced force makes the object go into motion( Getting a Bang Out of Breath Spray.) Is it true that when the kinetic energy of a canister launched straight up is at its maximum, the potential energy is near zero, and vice versa. It is false, the potential energy reaches its maximum during flight but returns to 0 when the canister reaches the ground(Getting a Bang Out of Breath Spray). What would a graph of pressure in the canister vs. time after spark ignition look like? At the beginning it would be zero and when you ignite it the pressure rapidly increases then once it hits the ground again the pressure would decrease rapidly(Getting a Bang Out of Breath Spray). The mass of the object being launched is equal to the mass of the reactants(Helmenstin, Anne …show more content…

The energy released and make the canister goes into the air(Getting a Bang Out of Breath Spray). How is the combustion of the film canister the same of the gasoline of a car engine? The combustion from the breathspray is the same as the gasoline in a car it makes it go into motion.(Brian, Marshall). The ethanal in the breath spray when is mixed with the oxygen(Getting a Bang Out of Breath Spray). The alcohol used in most breath sprays is "specially denatured." What does it mean to denature the alcohol. It means to take away natural qualities of the alcohol and add new ones(Getting a Bang Out of Breath

    After doing some more research, I have found that enemies do have the ability to hack, disable, or use our own robots against us. To start, the main way these situations can happen is with certain illegal tools that can jam up the frequency between the robot and the person controlling the robot, this is called radio frequency jamming. The main tool used to jam the frequencies is a tool called the Jamming Rifle which does what it sounds like. It is a portable tool that just like a rifle is pointed at the target but the trigger releases radio frequency that disrupts the connection between the robot and the person controlling it (“Radio Jamming Rifle Claimed To Disable Drones”). This will be the main weapon in futuristic fighting if robots are

  • Pros And Cons Of Hydrogen Bombs

    Hydrogen bombs are more than 1000 times more powerful than the very common atomic bomb. The explosion is from nuclear fusion which is when hydrogen nuclei (plural of nucleus) are joined to form helium nuclei, releasing great destructive energy and radioactive fallout. When the nuclei combine there is a split second where there is nothing and then there is the explosion. An atomic bomb is the trigger or the smaller bomb of what sets off the hydrogen bomb. We have to be careful with the hydrogen bomb because, if used, it will cause a major catastrophe far greater than the damage done by the atomic bomb.

    This equates to 88.45MJ of energy using the equation W= Fx. The required energy output of the catapult system must be variable. Smaller, lower mass aircraft will require less force to be exerted by the catapult to reach take-off velocity as compared to heavier aircraft with higher take-off velocities. There is a danger of over stressing the aircraft airframe if the exerted forces are too great and consequently reducing the aircraft lifespan.
