What will hit the ground first the bullet shot horizontally or the one dropped?
In theory, if a bullet dropped vertically at the same instant that a bullet is fired horizontally from a gun at the same height, they should both hit the ground at the same time.This example is used to emphasize that that horizontal motion and vertical motion may be analysed separately since they occur independently of each other.This is one of those things that works better in theory than in practice.There is a caveat that is important if you consider doing this in the real world. The process is not happening in a vacuum. The aerodynamics of the bullet fired at high speed is tremendously important. In early gun design, this was not understood and bullets fired from guns were very inaccurate and went up or down or right or left in unpredictable ways. Modern guns stabilize the trajectory by putting a spin on the bullet. The result makes the bullet act like a gyroscope and then to remain pointed forward when it encounters small anomalies in the air and wind. So, the moving bullet is subjected to vertical forces and can not be expected to drop at the same rate as a bullet with no horizontal motion.The principle of independent horizontal and vertical motion works better when illustrated by throwing and dropping heavy rocks. The principle is entirely correct, but there are more vertical forces involved than gravity with the bullets.
Which direction does wind and air pressure travel?
Wind is balancing of atmospheric pressure, the movement of air is in high pressure areas to low pressure areas.
What are the high speed high altitude air currents that circle earth in a westerly direction?
The answer is Jetstream.
Fluid travel from high pressure to low pressure Is this statement is true for liquid gas and plasma?
Gases also travel from high to low pressure. If you think about a closed system where there are two sections, a high pressure and a low pressure section. The low pressure section has little to no gaseous molecules, and the high pressure has tons. The kinetic energy of the molecules in the high pressure section will propel them to the low pressure system, causing an overall flow in that direction until equilibrium is reached. http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/mtr/fw/pgf.rxml
What is a positive effect of the advances of GPS over the compass?
The GPS can tell you your position better. by alex from austin high school the GPS gives more accurate information the gps makes a task easier
Is how high and how long the same?
No. Generally, "high" refers to the extent in the vertical direction and "long" in the horizontal direction.
Why a force of returning of the rifle is smaller than that of the bullet?
because the bullet and the rifle have equal and opposite direction,so a bullet have high kinetic energy and momentum
In which country would you travel on a bullet train?
The Shinkansen is also known as the bullet train, it is a high speed railway in Japan
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.
How far will a bullet form a high powered rifle travel under water?
Can't be answered without knowing the caliber, bullet weight and if it is fresh or salt water.
How far a 44magnum pistol bullet travel?
Accurately- about 100 yards. Total range, fired at a high angle, no accuracy? About 2500 ft, depending on which 44 bullet, and which gun it is fired from.
In what direction do high and low pressure areas travel in the US?
west to east in the US?
Which way is vertical up or down?
Vertical means up and down. A horizontal line goes from the left to the right (or from the right to the left) like this: ----------------------------- A horizontal line goes from a position that is low to a position that is high (or from a position that is high to a position that is low) like this: | | | | | | | | But the word "vertical" does not tell you which direction the line is drawn, just the it is a line.
Function of bullet train?
The function of a bullet train is to allow high speed transport of passengers. These trains operate at speeds much higher than conventional trains. The bullet train was developed in Japan as a quick, efficient means of travel between its cities.
Why is the Japanese bullet train important?
It's a technological innovation that allows for high speed travel from one location to another. It is important for business travelers and tourists, competing with air travel.
How far can a bullet fly?
The distance a bullet can travel depends on the type of firearm and ammunition used, as well as factors such as muzzle velocity, air resistance, and gravity. For example, a typical handgun bullet can travel up to 1-2 miles, while a high-powered rifle bullet can travel over 3 miles under certain conditions.
How can a bullet travel a large distance just by clicking the trigger?
When The Percussion Cap That The Hammer Hits Ignites The Gun Powder, The Powder Turns Into A Gas Which Expands In The Chamber Of The Gun Sending The Bullet At A Very High Rate Out The Barrel.
