A rifle is aimed horizontally at a target 48.0 away The bullet hits the target 2.80 below the aim point what was the bullets flight time?

you have to use the equation (change)Y=1/2x(gravity)x t(squared)
p.s. make sure you change cm into m.
and once you find the time insert it into this equation
change in velocity=change of x/change in time.

Who made the smart bullet?
"Smart Bullet" is the term for a THEORETICAL bullet that would be capable of pursuing a designated target, changing direction in flight, etc. While there have been patents applied for, and stories written about guns with "smart" bullets, they are not produced by anyone.
A bullet fired horizontally from a rifle begins to fall?
As soon as it leaves the muzzle of the rifle. To hit a target at any distance, the line of sight of the barrel will be tilted so that it is ABOVE horizontal- and gravity will cause the bullet to curve back to earth- or your target.
Can a bullet travel faster than the speed of sound?
Yes, bullets travel faster than the speed of sound. That is why if someone was to shoot a target from a distance and you were standing beside the target, you would be able to see the target get hit by the bullet before you would hear the crack of the gun Some bullets travel faster than the speed of sound, but not all.
What is the difference in grains of bullets for black powder?
The grains of a bullet, be it black powder or not , is the weight of the bullet. Lets say you have a .50 caliber rifle, and fire a 250 grain bullet at a target and hit dead center. Then fire a 300 grain bullet, that bullet will hit slightly lower on the target , but will have more force or stopping power" due to the weight. So the higher the grain the heaver the bullet.
Do 7.62x54R 148 grain bullets have a higher or lower point of impact than 174 grain bullets when fired from a Mosin Nagant 91 30?
A lighter bullet will strike the target higher,due to its lighter weight which allows the bullet to be pushed faster(in feet per second) then the heavier bullet with the same weight of powder in the case.
Do all bullets drop the same vertical distance in equal time?
Bullets will drop almost the same vertical distance in equal time. The limitation is the vertical drag force on the bullet. If fired in a flat trajectory, a bullet will start with no vertical velocity. As it continues on its path however, the force of gravity will impart some vertical velocity to it. Initially the vertical component of the drag force will be negligible, but the longer it flies, the faster it drops. At some point the drag force becomes noticeable and the roughness of the bullet surface and geometry of the bullet begin to play a role in how much vertical drag force is exhibited. Most of the time a bullet will hit its target before this effect makes much difference, but if you fired two different bullets from the top of a very high mountain and tracked their flight you would probably find them dropping at different speeds towards the end of their flight.
A bullet is fired horizontally with an initial velocity of 500ms at a target located 200m from the rifle Using the approximate value of g equals 10ms squared how far does the bullet fall in this time?
It takes the bullet (500/200) = 2.5 seconds of horizontal flight to reach the target.Under the influence of gravity for 2.5 seconds, ignoring air resistance, it will fall(1/2 G) (t)2 = (5) (6.25) = 31.25 meters
Define trAjectory of the bullet velocity of the bullet velocity?
Bullet trajectory is the path the bullet travels once it leaves the barrel. Bullets travel on a long arch and cross the line of sight twice. Once shortly after leaving the barrel and once again on target assuming the sights are properly zeroed. This is the trajectory of the bullet. Bullet velocity is the speed at which the bullet is traveling along it's trajectory.
Which is the best 38 caliber ammunition?
Best for what? 38 Wadcutter is a flat front bullet used in target competition, that is highly accurate, has low recoil, and clips a neat clean hole in a paper target. Heavier solid bullets are used for hunting, and fast light hollow point bullets are used for defense.
If a bullet is shot from a gun and another bullet falls from a barrel which falls first?
If a gun was parallel with the earth and was fired and at that very instant someone standing by the barrel dropped a bullet from beside the barrel, both bullets would hit the ground at the same time. Bullets start falling the instant they leave the end of the gun barrel. That is why hunters hold their rifles at an upward angle. It looks like the bullet will shoot up into the sky. The bullet will follow a curved path toward its target.
How do bullets cause friction?
They cause friction by their motion first through the rifling of the gun barrel then through the air on trajectory to their target then with the materials of the target. The friction eventually saps all the energy imparted to the bullet by the explosive charge.
A rifle is fired at a distant target and bullet is fired horizontally from a gun you drop a bullet from the height of the barrel if there ain't air resistance which bullet hits the ground 1st explain?
They will arrive at the floor together (assuming the floor is horizontal). The reason is that both the initial vertical component of the speed, and the vertical acceleration, are the same.
