This will depend upon what it hits, what type of bullet it is, the angle of impact, the angle of reflection, if any rotation or torsion is placed upon the bullet, the depth of the impacted object, etc.

The deceleration can vary from 100% (the bullet stops) to less than 1% (practically no energy lost) depending upon the interaction of the above variables.

Ignoring air resistance a bullet fired horizontally has how many forces acting on it after leaving the rifle?

One. Only the bullet's weight. In this case, the bullet would not decelerate and will keep moving at muzzle velocity until it hits the ground.

How do guns fire?

Most of the time there is a firing pin, which hits the back of a bullet when the trigger is pulled. The firing pin hits the back of the bullet and ignites the gunpowder inside of the bullet. The bullet then becomes a small unguided rocket and hits something in the direction the gun was aimed at.

Can a bullet ricochet off a tree and cause injury or damage?

Yes, a bullet can ricochet off a tree and cause injury or damage.

What happens to k.e. of a bullet when ita penetrates into a target?

When the bullet penetrates into an object its velocity decreases very much or becomes 0 suddenly. This causes a change a momentum of bullet and impulse is applied. Technically the kinetic energy is converted to potential as a deformation occurs inside that object, transferring some of the kinetic energy into the object.


What are bullet resistent materials?

these are materials which are extremely strong, yet flexible. strong as to not break when a bullet hits it, and flexible so it can absorb some of the shock from the bullet
