All other factors equal (bullet mass & frontal area, angle of barrel, etc) a higher muzzle velocity will make the bullet travel further horizontally as if falls to the ground. If the barrel is level when fired , the bullet will hit the ground at the same time as a bullet dropped simutaneously from muzzle height

What has greater muzzle velocity 44magnum or 357magnum?

Muzzle velocity is a function of type and quantity of powder, as well as the mass of the projectile and the length of barrel. All of these factors being equal except the bullet sizes in the question, probably the 357 with the lesser mass would have the higher muzzle velocity.


What is more powerful a 223 or a 22-250?

With equal 55 grain loads, the .22-250 would be on account of the higher muzzle velocity.


What the work energy theorem of a rifle with a longer barrel that fire bullets with a larger velocity than a rifle with a shorter barrel?

The work-energy theorem states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. In the case of rifles, the longer barrel allows for a longer acceleration distance for the bullet, resulting in a higher muzzle velocity. This means that the rifle with the longer barrel does more work on the bullet, giving it more kinetic energy and a higher velocity compared to the rifle with the shorter barrel.


How does height affect the velocity of a falling body?

A falling object accelerates at a rate of 9.8 m/s2. That means that for every second that it is falling, its velocity increases by 9.8 m/s. The higher that the object is falling from, the longer it will have to speed up, thus the higher its velocity upon impact will be. (This is assuming that it does not reach terminal velocity, the velocity at which an object can no longer accelerate because it is travelling so fast that the drag force (air resistance) is equal to the force of gravity.)


In projectile motion What Angle would horizontal and vertical distance be equal?

Can't say. It depends on the release velocity (muzzle velocity).The maximum horizontal distance always results from an angle of 45 degrees, regardless of the release velocity.


Why anything cannot cross the velocity of light?

Because every matter has a mass which tries to stop the matter from gaining the equal or higher velocity as light.


What is the velocity in which the body covers equal displacements in equal intervals of ttime?

The velocity of the body is constant if it covers equal displacements in equal intervals of time. This is because velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement with respect to time. If the body is covering equal distances at equal intervals, then the velocity remains constant.


When is the instantaneous velocity equal to avg velocity?

Mainly, when the velocity doesn't change. Also, in the case of varying velocity, the instantaneous velocity might, for a brief instant, be equal to the average velocity.


When do you say that the velocity of the car is equal?

when a car travels equal distance in equal intervals of time its velocity is uniform and equal


What is the maximum velocity reached by a falling object that occurs when the resistance of the medium is equal to force due to gravity?

The maximum velocity reached by a falling object when the resistance of the medium is equal to the force due to gravity is called terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the object no longer accelerates and reaches a constant speed as the drag force balances out the force of gravity acting on the object.


When average velocity and average speed is equal?

For the instantaneous value of average velocity, average speed and average velocity are equal.


A rifle is fired and you are able to measure both the muzzle velocity of the bullet as well as the recoil velocity of rifle how do you explain the fact that the forward velocity of the bullet is great?

The force exerted on the bullet and the recoil force against the rifleman, are equal to each other (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction). The bullet has a very small mass, and the rifle/rifleman possess a large mass, force is equal to one half mass times velocity squared, F=m/2*v^2. So velocity of the bullet is the square root of twice force divided by mass, small mass equals large velocity. Another way of looking at this problem is to invoke the law of the conservation of momentum: mass(bullet)*muzzle_velocity(bullet) = mass(rifle)*recoil_velocity(rifle). This is an approximation that neglects the momentum carried away the propellant (both spent and unburned) that exits the muzzle after the bullet.
