Gravity is pulling the projectile down steadily; the further it climbs, the more resistance it's recieving, it begins to slow down, as with any projectile.

What were some Nazi scientific discoveries?

Most Nazi scientific efforts were guided by military considerations, they were especially fruitful in the areas of rocket propulsion, jet propulsion, and missile guidance. To name a few:V-1: The first operational, powered, UAV (Unmanned Air Vehicle), first pulse-jet-propelled air craft, first cruise missile.V-2: The first operational, short range, ballistic missile. It achieved sub-orbital space flight at an altitude of approximately 80 km.Rheinbote: The second operational, short range, ballistic missile, designed to replace or augment large bore artillery pieces.Ruhrstahl X-4: The first wire-guided ATA (Air-To-Air) missile, developed & tested, but never deployed.ME163: The first operational, manned, rocket-propelled air craft.ME262: The first operational, manned, jet-propelled air craft.Der Wasserfall (The Waterfall): The first developed, but never deployed, rocket-propelled STA (Surface To Air), guided missile. Today it would be called a SAM.Henschel Hs 293: The first operational, Anti ship, Rocket-propelled, guided missile (It began as Fritz X, a stand-off, radio-controlled, gliding bomb (also, a first); then the engine was added to allow low altitude delivery and to increase range and stand-off distance.)Henschel Hs 293D: As above, but television guided (never deployed).


What is the top cruising altitude for G5 Gulfstream?

The Gulfstream GV can climb directly to an altitude of 37,000 feet in eighteen minutes, then continue to 43,000 feet for a high speed cruise of 488 knots, or climb to 45,000 feet for a long-range cruise of 459 knots. The highest altitude that it is certified to fly at is 51,000 feet.


How does the firing angle affect the power output?

The power output can remain constant, but the forces acting against the projectile will affect its range. The mass of the projectile and the amount of charge can be considered constants unless range changes. The elevation will then need to factor as a constant and the amount of charge will need to change accordingly. It depends on what is easier to change.


How do tornadoes affect building or bridges?

Depending on the quality and and type of construction of the bridge or building and the intensity of the tornado, structures can suffer varying degrees of damage. Damage may range from minor, superficial damage, to complete destruction.


What is the difference between capture range and lock range in Phase lock loop devicee inj?

Lock Range of a PLL is the range of frequencies centered at free running frequency of VCO, around which the PLL can remain in locked state. Capture Range of a PLL is the range of frequencies centered at free running frequency of VCO, around which the PLL can acquire lock-in from an unlocked state. The relation is Capture Range<=Lock Range

Can cruse missile be supersonic?

Yes but it would be only a short range missile. Long range supersonic cruse missile would be very difficult to make because the equipment for required power and fast navigation processing make it vary large. Supersonic cruse missile would also have the limitation not to fly atlow altitude.
