What else can I help you with?
A bullet dropped versus a bullet fired from a gun which has greater acceleration?
The bullet fired from a gun has greater horizontal acceleration. For vertical acceleration, they are both the same.
Can a bullet fired straight up in the air kill someone on the ground when it comes back down?
Yes, a bullet fired straight up in the air can be lethal when it falls back down to the ground. The force of gravity causes the bullet to accelerate as it falls, potentially reaching a lethal velocity. This phenomenon is known as a "stray bullet" injury.
What is the most lethal 40 cal ammo?
Any metallic bullet fired from a gun can be lethal. Pistol ammo is not designed for different degrees of lethality, but is designed for effectiveness in stopping and attacker. That is likely to be a jacketed hollowpoint cartridge.
What is the approximate shooting distance of a JC Higgins model 36 22 cal?
A .22 lr bullet is lethal to a mile or better, regardless of the gun that fired it.
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.
What is Range of the ak-47?
~400 meters effective range (Lethal and predictive) ~900 meters Firing range ( CAN be lethal from 400 to 900 m) ~2000 meters maximum range (maximum range the bullet can travel away - fired in a 45 degree angle)
A bullet fired horizontally over level ground hits the ground in 0.5 seconds If it had been fired with twice the speed in the same direction it would have hit the ground when?
Assuming no affects from air and a smooth geography, both bullets would fall at the same rate of 9.81 m/s^2 toward earth, and hit the ground simultaneously. You have to look at the bullet's velocity as having a horizontal and vertical velocity vectors. The vertical velocity vector is independent from that of the horizontal. The horizontal vector would be the speed at which the bullet is fired, and the vertical vector is the speed at which the bullet falls due to gravity.
Is a bullet fired into a gel or into what material when trying to identify the gun a bullet is fired from?
I used gelatin or a large water tank.
Why are bullets fired into a gel tank in a forensics ballistic lab?
Bullets are fired into a gel tank in a forensics ballistic lab to simulate the impact of a bullet on human tissue. The gel, usually ballistic gelatin, has similar density and consistency to human tissue, allowing investigators to study the behavior of the bullet upon impact. This helps in determining the trajectory, penetration depth, and potential damage caused by a fired bullet.
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.
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.
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.
