Why does a stone shatter glass while a bullet makes a neat hole?
A bullet travels at really high velocity and therefore the glass does not have enough time to bend due to the force and shatter instead the bullet just damages the area it gets in contact with and thus making a hole in the glass. Whereas a stone travels at a low velocity and the glass has enough time to bend and shatter
How does a bullet fired from a gun have ahigh momentum?
Momentum = mass x velocity A bullet has a high momentum because its velocity is really high.
Why does a bullet makes a hole when it is fired at a glass?
Glass is usually made shatter proof in order too prevent long sharp pieces of glass injuring people. This is done by either applying a clear sheet of plastic too the glass, or the glass sheet is heated till just below the softening point and then cold air is blasted onto the glass, this way when the glass breaks into small chunks which would explain why in some cases the bullet only punctured a hole instead of shattering the whole sheet of glass.
How do you apply the concept of momentum to compare the mass and velocity of a slow moving train and of a high-speed bullet?
The momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity. In the case of a slow moving train and a high-speed bullet, the bullet would have a higher momentum due to its higher velocity even if its mass is smaller. This is because momentum is more affected by velocity than by mass.
Why does a bullet fired at a glass window makes a hole but doesn't crack while a stone striking it will smash it?
It's all down to surface area and speed ! The bullet is tapered to a point or rounded tip - the stone is bulky and irregular in shape. The bullet is travelling faster than sound - the stone travels at just a few feet per second.
How high will a bullet go?
Depends on the area that you're in and the velocity of the gun itself
What is a sling shot?
I just got a High Velocity sling shot yesterday. you buy steel or glass ammo there is a bullet pouch put the ammo there pull the string back and let go.
Why does a bullet when fired against a glass window pane make a hole in it and the glass pane will smash it?
when a bullet strikes the glass pane with a high velocity, the larger part of the glass plane do not get enough time to share the momentum due to inertia of rest and only that part which is in contact of the bullet is blown off according to the law of conservation of momentum But when a slow moving stone strikes the glass plane a larger part of the glass is able to share the momentum and therefore it smashes the glass
What is the difference between the muzzle velocity of a 17 caliber bullet a 22 long rifle bullet a 22 magnum bullet?
22LR high velocity - MV= 1260 fps 17 HMR MV= 2550 fps A lot faster, huh?
Average bullet speedhow fast is a 338 bullet?
It all depends on the weight and the charge behind the round and even the gun fired in can make a difference, you can buy subsonice rounds and high speed bullets but really anything from 1400 fps +
If a bullet was fired down through the earth's atmosphere how long would it take and how fast would it be?
That would depend on the mass of the bullet, the bullet's velocity when it left the barrel of the gun, and from how high up the bullet was fired from.
How can the concept of momentum compare to a slow moving train and a high speed bullet?
Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. A high-speed bullet has more momentum than a slow moving train because the bullet has a smaller mass but much higher velocity. This means the bullet can have more impact and be harder to stop compared to the train, even though the train has more mass.
