Why do bullets in a magazine go up instead of down? Side magazines are difficult to carry on the body especially if troops are squashed in a vehicle/aircraft. The sten gun in the example was a very quick/dirty design not a well engineered one |

Why do bullets in a magazine go up instead of down? Some new guns (SA-80) have the magazine at the very rear which allows a longer barrel in the same length of gun so more accuracy - that's the only physics reasons I can think of |

Why does a lump of explosive burn's with an explosion? The answer is for a low-explosive like gunpowder. For a high explosive burning is different from exploding. I fixed up the English in the question |

How does my car acquire satellite signal? It's broadcasting a digital radio signal so it's very easy to send any other digital data as well. The satelite sends blocks of compressed audio (like Mp3) which is buffered in the unit so you can download minutes of playback in a few seconds. That's how it has so many channels |

Could a sleeping bag be warmer if you are naked inside? As physicists we also assumed that we were alone in the sleeping bag. And neglected any perturbation to the work then done if we were naked and not alone. |

Why is it called “annihilation”? If I was converted into gamma photons I would consider myself annihilated (although presumably only very briefly) |
