> 13000*pi*52*12^2
ans = 3.0582e+08I doubt it would make much difference... the gun is basically one shot.
just a clarification here, the nuke is the propulsion method.
let the shape be a cylinder 24m in diameter 52 meters tall with a 4 meter inverted cone at the bottom and a 4 meter cone at the top. also the launch tube is 6km long with 1km just for water as a medium to decrease the amount of melting/vaporization of the payload, and the other 5km is a complete...
Hello, I'm currently doing a project on a Verne gun, and I'd just like to know which equations I should know in order to explain such a device. How do i calculate velocity, efficiency of the launch, how the gas laws play into the efficiency, since it should be traveling at 10s of kilometers a...
I think we all know what an Alcubierre drive is, well this is similar in principle. Is it possible to conduct faster than light communication through the acceleration of a bubble of space time? is it even possible to do this without a ship, and just send it out as a warp bubble from a point like...
1. A spacecraft going at .99c is heading straight towards a star that's at a distance of 60,000 light years. Another ship 25,000 light years below the first one also is heading towards the star also at .99c. What what is the related rate between the time dilation of the first spacecraft to...
I'm really not asking anything about the mathematics, or physics, or intricacies of warp drive as quite frankly that's completely beyond me at my current education level, I am asking what's the 3 dimensional equation used to plot the photo that I linked.
Yes but the actual picture shown is 3 dimensional is it not? On the x,y, and z plane? I'm simply asking what 3d function would represent that particular picture that just so happens tries to helps us visualize warp. Maybe it would have been better, and more fruitful to ask for examples of some...
I'm not acfually asking for the equations that represent warp drive just the picture I linked which is only 3d dimensional, and which only is supposed to help visualize what happens with a alcubierre drive.
What I mean by this is what's the 3d equation of the alcubierrie warp effect? You know when space is contracted infront of the ship, and inflated behind it in terms of z like this eqaurion for a rain drop z=(sin(2x+y)+sin(5y+2x))/5? Here's the photo if you don't understand what I'm talking about...
Can some one explain to me how the cat can be both alive and dead, I get the principle that since we don't know it is both at the same time because we don't know but in reality it's either alive or alive we just don't know, it's the human factor of sentience just because we don't know doesn't...
At what speed do quasars eject matter out the galaxy. I heard, I don't if I'm remembering correctly, that quasars can eject matter faster then the speed of light and I am very sure i got this information from the show "the universe" a couple years ago.
