No. The size-weight of the bullet also affects the knockdown power.

Power, kinetic energy, force and momentum: they are all related, and each one carries a 'mass' component.

It is, more expressly. the size of the Force or momentum of a moving object that determines its affect on other objects; and force and momentum are directly determined by both - the speed of the moving object and the size of its mass.

As it requires a greater force to move the larger bullet in the first place, which therefore means greater energy expended to do so, so at the other end that greater energy is conserved in the larger bullet, and therefore hits its target with greater force and energy.

How is velocity related dto power?

velocity like to power becaus velocity related to power.


What is the best and the most powerful air rifle you can get for under 200gbp?

I think you have to identify your definition of power. Do you mean speed or knockdown power? A .177 caliber pellet will travel faster than a .22 caliber pellet but a .22 pellet will have more knockdown power. With 200 GDP ($324) you should be able to find what you are looking for. I suggest you look at the web site below and read the owner reviews. Then you will have more information about your selection.( See the related link below)If this rifle is avalable in the UK then this one has the most power I've seen in an air rifle that is not a PCP class rifle. Its the "Benjamin Trail NP XL 725" its a 25 caliber Nitro piston air rifle.


What is the relation of velocity to health and science?

Velocity is related to health in the sense that high velocity collisions are more damaging than low velocity collisions. Velocity is related to science in the sense that Newtonian mechanics deals with velocity.


Explain how distance time and velocity are related to each other?

They are related through the formula distance = time x velocity (assuming constant velocity).


Are velocity and acceleration related?

Yes. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.


How is frequency related to velocity?

the velocity of a wave is given by frequency*its wavelength


How is motion related to velocity?

How are gravity and velocity related?

gravity affects the momentum and velocity of an object. momentum=mass x velocity


Velocity and acceleration related?

Acceleration is the rate at which velocity is changing, with the direction of the change.


How are mass and velocity related to momentum?

Momentum is the product of (mass) x (velocity) .
