do you think the magnus effect will play any role in the trajectory of the shot? Assuming its a rifled bullet

pure magnesium burns into some uv light along with visible light and i believe so does methanol Wild-land firefighters occasionally come across this phenomenon where its "on fire" but burning so cold that the flame is not visible to the naked eye

yes there are several materials that burn off into UV instead of visible light

what you "see" and "feel" as fire is simply radiation visible light and infrared Aside from smoke and other random particles but the "flame" is nothing more then light from atoms that have been excited to the point where they begin an exothermic reaction with the air around them Fire is...

fire is light emitted by the excited atoms of the material when excited to the point of combustion Heat = light = magnetic radiation just on a diffrent frequency

heat is a form of magnetic radiation Pass DC voltage thru a wire and heat is the byproduct

To be honest that is a really big can of worms and with no definitive answer. I guess we will never know until someone successfully hits "the end of the universe" as it were I heard there is a great resturant there to

It's been proven many times and in many places that humans are sensitive to strong magnetic fields I do not see what the debate is about it simple to understand Moving thru a strong magnetic field with a conductive material generates electricity Your nervous system is an electric circuit...

Expansion and contraction as the sound waves pass through the object in question it expands and contracts this action is what's turning your screw Wood expands screw loosens up some Then then wood contracts but the screw is in a slightly diffrent place so it becomes a question of least...

I'm playing a rather popular online fps type game that is extremely fast paced so your character is capable of moving at speeds in excess of 200kph. The question I have: Say I'm flying at 100kph in midair and i turn 90 degrees to my left and fire a shot. how much of my vector and velocity...
