Consider a rail gun. A small rocket (10 kg) is launched by a rail gun of length 10 m. The rails have inductance per length of 4H/m. The circuit has 10kV through a restance of 100. V = 10 kV + d = 10 m R = 10 Ω a.) What is the force on the rocket? b.) What is the exit velocity of the rocket? dL dx m = 10 kg = 4H/m Consider a rail gun.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To calculate the force on the rocket and its exit velocity when launched from a railgun we can use the principles of electromagnetism and Newtons laws ... View the full answer
