It can be projected by using the formula E= MV2 divided by 450400.
E is the energy in foot lbs
M is mass of bullet in grains
V2 is velocity in feet per second, squared.
It can also be directly measured by taking a known weight, shooting it, and measuring the movement of the weight. This is known as a ballistic pendulum, and is not often used today.

Can weight astronomical units and mass be measured in pounds?
Not all of them no. Weight can be measures in pounds. Mass can be measured in pounds But astronomical units are a measure of distance so these are not measured in pounds. Finally pounds are a very outmoded unit it. The international standard unit for measuring weight is the Kilogram.
A bullet is fired from a gun. The speed of the bullet will be about the same as the speed of the recoiling gun if the mass of the bullet equals the mass of the gun?
The mass of a bullet is nowhere near the mass of a gun. A bullet weighs at most a few hundred grains. Most guns weigh at least a couple of pounds, some weigh several pounds (talking about handguns and rifles).
How much does a Lamborghini weigh in POUNDS?
The question cannot be answered because the weight is not measured in pounds but in pounds force.
What is the mass of a cow measured in?
A cow's mass is measured in kilograms. Her weight is also in kilograms, as well as in pounds.
What is 0.7376ft lb. in energy?
That IS the energy, since foot times pounds (pounds as a unit of force) is energy.
What piece of lab equipment is used to measure work?
There are different methods of measuring work. Work is defined as a change in state of energy from one form to another. Mechanical energy can be measured in horsepower, foot-pounds or their metric equivalent. This is measured with a dynamometer. Electrical energy is measured in watts, this is measured with a watt-ohm meter, or a volt-ammeter. Heat energy is measured with a thermometer, and potential energy can be measured with a calorimeter. For other types of energy there are different tools used to measure it. In order to determine work performed, the energy before the work is done must be measured, then the energy after the work is done is measured, then the work done can be calculated from the results.
Can a couch be measured in pounds?
Anything can be measured in pounds, but it will be a lot.
How do professional deer hunters use math in hunting?
it is not so much the hunting part where math is used but the shooting part, we use math for bullet trajectory or the figuring of the flight of the bullet to the point of impact
What is a word that describes the power of bullets?
Bullet force is usually measured in Joules (in the metric system). It is also frequently reported as foot-pounds, under the Imperial system.
Which bullet is more powerful the 9mm or the 40 cal?
All else being equal, the one that has more foot pounds of energy.
What is commonly measured in pounds?
Anything sold in the US in solid form is measured in pounds.
How much pounds you have to wei gh to be bullet proof?
500 pounds
How many FPS does 1000 Foot-Pounds translate to?
That is sort of like asking how many miles per hour does 100 horsepower equal. Ft lbs is energy, and FPS is speed. There IS a formula to calculate the energy (in foot lbs) of a bullet, but to use that, you need to know SPEED in FPS, and WEIGHT (in grains) of the bullet. A 40 grain bullet at 1000 fps is pretty weak. A 400 gr bullet at 1000 fps can drop a moose.

How is sonic boom related to energy unit?
A sonic boom is a collapsing pressure wave, and may be measured in pounds per square inch of pressure.
