    Trying to find the appropriate motor for a sliding door

    My assignment is to create a sliding door with working motor,mechanical and structure calculations. However I keep having trouble when finding the appropriate motor for the sliding door movement. The doors are both 80kg (Which is 784 Newtons). The entire weight is taken is supported by the track...

    Trying to figure out the forces needed to push a heavy sliding door.

    I have been working with Physics for a while. I have recently come across a problem I could not solve efficiently. I have been designing a sliding door with 4 wheels with a rolling co efficient of 0.03. I thought that if I simply be using Force applied by door on all 4 wheels multiplied by...

    Can you use a Railgun to blast objects into orbit or reduce fuel costs?

    Okay I understand why you wouldn't launch an object with a railgun at 90 degrees with hopes of getting orbit. But how using a railgun at any desired angle (with a much lower acceleration than 1200m/s ^2 to launch satelites into orbit (with the aid of a rocket booster) to get the satelitte into...

    Can you use a Railgun to blast objects into orbit or reduce fuel costs?

    This was an idea I had when when learning about ramjets. I was wondering if you could use a specially designed rail gun to launch a probe or satelitte ,at a very high velocity vertically upwards and then when the object is decelarating at 9.8 m/s due to gravity use a small rocket propulsion...
