    Gain Speed
AI Thread Summary
A projectile can gain kinetic energy when introduced to a Gauss-field, but it must be timed correctly to ensure that the coil-induced force exceeds the initial acceleration from the firing mechanism. If the timing is off, the Gauss-field could potentially slow the projectile down. The initial kinetic energy provided by an airgun's pressurized air is crucial, as it creates acceleration when confined in a barrel but dissipates upon exiting. The feasibility of carrying sufficient battery power to sustain the necessary surge for optimal performance of the Gauss-coil is also a significant consideration. Ultimately, the effectiveness of this system hinges on precise timing and energy management.

I was wondering if a projectile can be introduced to a Gauss-field and pick up kinetic energy when initial speed before coil were about 1000 fps.
Or if the ironmass have to be initially fired from the same discharge\stream of flux to gain any speed.
And least, would the Gauss-field slow the mass down if the timing was off? (a hz-question?)

The more polit.correct definition of the question within, I believe consist in if wether or not the velocity\kinetic energy of an iron mass would gain more kinetical energy from a Gauss-coil induced force of pull?

The initial kinetic energy from exhausting gases\an airgun's pressurized aircushin in a barrel only create an accel.force when confined in a barrel, and will loose energy when leaving muzzle\disperced.

Any gain of speed will only happen if the *well-timed* coil-induced Gaussian force of pull exceeds the initially force of acceleration released upon primary firing.
More; Will it be possible to carry the amount of batteries needed for the capacitor to keep the required surge discharging in loading-phase long enough for the "Flux-affaire" to peak?

True or false?
 
The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...
Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'
Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
