    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?
 
Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'
Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...
This has been discussed many times on PF, and will likely come up again, so the video might come handy.

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
