How does a 22 caliber bullet act in the air?
Assuming the bullet is fired from a gun, the bullet will move out of the bore with a high velocity and will immediately begin falling and decelerating. If the bore is rifled, the bullet will also rotate on its long axis (providing stability in flight).
When a 5.0 g bullet leaves the muzzle of a rifle with a speed of 322 ms What force assumed constant is exerted on the bullet while it is traveling down the 0.78 m long barrel of the rifle?
Friction for one.
Why does a bullet have less momentum fired from a short barrel vs long barrel?
At the instant the gun fires, the bullet is at rest- speed zero. As the expanding gasses from the burning gunpowder reach the bullet, they begin pushing the bullet up the barrel. It's speed is increasing- and the longer the push, the higher the speed. There IS a point of diminishing returns- where a barrel LONGER than the perfect length begins to slow the bullet- you have used all the expanding gasses, and now friction is slowing the bullet. If you had a barrel 20 ft long, the bullet would not make it all the way up the barrel, it would stop.For barrels on any realistically-usable weapon, a longer barrel will provide more momentum to the bullet than a shorter one. In addition, longer rifled barrels will also impart more spin, which will increase accuracy.
How long will a bullet take to hit the ground if it is shot it perfectly straight and it's in an open field that is open forever?
Which gun.... of course it could be a toy gun which can barely even fire, in which case it will be like half a metre, or a .50 BMG (12.7 mm) McMillan bolt-action rifle with the longest kill of 2,430 metres (7,972 ft). All depends on power.. (I think he already quanitified the direction when he said 'straight'.... its called horizontal...
A bullet leaves a rifle at a speed of 1100 ft per second the barrel of the gun is 2.10 ft long What was the acceleration of the bullet inside the barrel of the gun?
There is no single answer to this question. It will depend on the cartridge, and the characteristics of the powder and bullet being fired. For instance, the 40 gr 22 Long Rifle cartridge accelerates from the moment of firing, until it travels about 12 inches. The gas produced by firing reaches it's max expansion, and the bullet now begins to SLOW to some degree from friction with the barrel. Acceleration is NOT uniform with any firearm cartridge- if graphed it would be a curve with a very sharp spike.
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.
Does a bullet of the same caliber travel faster if fired through a rifle rather than a pistol?
a bullet of the same caliber and same grains of powder fired from a long barrel will have a higher muzzle velocity than if fired from a short barrel.

Can you catch a bullet from a fired a gun in a long distance?
No. Trying to do so will get you killed. Bad idea. REALLY bad idea.
What does the bullet train look like?
the bullet train is like a long streamlined tube with either end pointing down.
Does writing on a bullet cartridge with a sharpie cause damage to the gun when fired?
No it does not. It may flake off and get onto your barrel but as long as you clean your gun as you should there will be no damage done.
Ammo fired down terminal velocity compared to ammo dropped at high altitude?
Fired ammunition from a firearm reaches a much higher initial velocity due to explosive propellant forces. In contrast, ammunition dropped from a high altitude reaches a terminal velocity where gravity pulling down is balanced by air resistance pushing up. The fired bullet maintains its higher velocity until slowed by air resistance and gravity, while dropped ammunition reaches a constant speed due to these opposing forces.
Where does the phrase to get fired originate?
Clans of long ago that wanted to get rid of their unwanted people without killing them used to burn their houses down - hence the expression "to get fired."
Why does a handgun round become less effective than a rifle bullet over a long distance?
Handgun projectiles are fired through shorter barrels which lead to a reduced production of muzzle energy.
After being fired how long do they have to pay you?

What is the only direction that net force is being applied to a projectile?
Projectiles in flight have two net forces acting on them. They've already been fired, so it is gravity (acting "down") and air resistance (acting "back") that are considered. There is a quirky factor called bullet rise or bullet drop that is a factor in long shots where a rotating projectile is used and a crosswind is present, but the two basic things acting on the projectile are gravity and atmospheric drag.
