A 9mm bullet will travel approximately 2200 meters before it begins to descend to the ground. However, unless the person shooting the gun is in a open field, the bullet will not travel that far before hitting something.

A gun fires a bullet off of a cliff that is 200 meters high with a muzzle velocity of 643 m per s so how far will the bullet travel before hitting the ground without air resistance?
Assuming that the gun is fired parallel to the ground, the bullet will begin to fall the instant that it leaves the muzzle. The total fall will be 200 meters. You will need to calculate how long it will take an object to fall 200 meters (hint- about 9.753 meters per second per second- or 9.753 meters the first second, 19.50 meters during the second second, etc) THEN multiply the velocity of the bullet (643 meters/ second) by the number of seconds it is in flight. That will be the distance when it hits the ground.
Will a bullet fired from a level gun hit the earth at the same time as the gun if it is dropped at the same time?
no. as long as there are no obstacles present, the bullet would theoretically fall longer than the gun, because the Earth is curved, and the Earth would curve away from the bullet just a little bit before the bullet reached the Earth's surface, making the fall just a little bit longer. this effect will be magnified if the bullet moves at a very high velocity. This is essentially what happens when an object is in orbit, only when an object is in orbit, it is moving quickly enough that the Earth has completely curved out of it's falling path before it reaches the ground.
If an object in motion will stay in motion what causes a bullet shot into the air to fall?
An object in motion will stay in motion until acted on by another opposing force. So gravity causes a bullet to fall back to the ground, but wind and air resistance cause the bullet to not fall strait back from where it came, aka one barrel. ____________ The above is true, only if Newtons theories are correct. If Newtons Theories are incorrect, then the bullet performs in the manner The Creator of all things and happensings decreed that it will. [see discussion on this comment]
Does an object fall at the same rate going horizontally as one going vertically?
To a first approximation, over short distances horizontal motion is decoupled from vertical motion. If you fire a bullet horizontally from a gun, and drop a bullet from next to the gun at the same time, both bullets will hit the ground at the same time. Over long enough distances the curvature of the Earth begins to have an effect, so this is no longer true.
What speed does a bullet return to earth?
If the bullet were shot perfectly vertically in a vacuum, it would reach its maximum altitude, then fall at a velocity of 32 ft/sec/sec. The terminal velocity would depend upon the altitude reached by the bullet, which in turn depends upon the caliber and load of bullet shot.
How long after vampire diaries season ends before another begins?
in fall.
How far does a bullet drop?
ALL bullets fall at 32 ft per second per second. When you fire a gun, the bullet begins to drop as it leaves the barrel, To hit things further away, you aim higher. You can try this with a garden hose. Over a given distance, the bullet that will drop the least is the fastest- it simply gets there quicker, and has not had time to fall as far.
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.

When there is fog what happens when the temperature begins to fall?
When temperature begins to fall at this state the fog is converted into frost in which ice formation takes place.
Where does a bullet goes after fired to the sky?
When a bullet is fired into the sky, it will eventually stop becasue it has run out of energy and fall back to the ground.
