What is the effect of changing the firing angle?
it will rather be possible for you not trying it
Compression waves resulting from the firing of a gun are in fact?
electromagnetic energy
What is the mean go in a different direction?
It is a euphemism for firing a person from a job.
How does a firearm work?
The basics: you activate the trigger, the hammer strikes the firing pin, the firing pin strikes the primer on the cartridge, the bullet is propelled down the barrel and goes to wherever the sights were aimed the instant the shot broke.
How can the daleks destroy cybermen?
by firing their lazers into their "C" chest which spreads it around their body and exterminates them!
Why is gravity such an important thing to consider in space?
When rocket motors are not burning and attitude thrusters are not firing, the only force acting on a spacecraft is the gravitational attraction toward every mass in the universe. Since those forces completely determine the speed and direction of the spacecraft, it's pretty important to take gravity into consideration. If the mission planner is smart, he'll usegravity to help take the spacecraft where it has to go, which cuts down on how much rocket fuel it needs.
How is it physically possible that spacecraft can navigate since there is no counterforce in space?
I assume you are referring to the Hollywood image of space craft maneuvering like aircraft. This view is certainly incorrect, but spacecraft can maneuver. Since action and reaction are opposite in direction, simply firing a thruster can alter its course. By changing the space craft's orientation and firing a thruster that acts along its main axis, it's vector can be changed. Side thrusters can move it sideways or rotate it into a new orientation. The change will always contain a component of the original motion, so navigational calculation would be complex and the possibilities limited (complete turnarounds would be impractical, for example). The simplest way to get from one point to another is to calculate an initial trajectory that gets you there with a minimum of course correction.
How is a spacecraft launched?
There are about four forces that act on a lifting off spacecraft . The four forces are the thrust force, the weight of the spacecraft, the drag and the lift force.
When they are in orbit can a spacecraft carry on for years without firing a rocket?
newtons third law
What is a deorbit burn that is done by space shuttles on reentry?
The firing of a spacecraft's engine against the direction of motion to cut the spacecraft's orbital speed. The speed reduction places the spacecraft in a lower orbit. If this lower orbit passes through Earth's atmosphere, the spacecraft reenters.
What is the calculation for changing the firing angle in scr-?
The calculations for changing the firing angle in SCR is K = 1 [π − α + 1 sin(2α )]
How do you steer rockets?
Rockets are steered by various means, such as tilting the main engines, moving fins, and firing reaction thrusters. This is usually done fully automatically, by computer.

What is the firing order for a 2000 Chevy Malibu?
The firing order for the 3.1 V6 is 1-2-3-4-5-6. If you are changing the plugs, I would recommend changing them one at a time so you don't mix up the order.
Is vince McMahon going to fire ecw?
He owns ECW no he is not firing ECW...he is changing the name
Why does your ford ranger keep back firing and rattling after changing the spark plug wires?
because you did it wrong
