What is the terminal velocity of a bullet and how does it affect its trajectory and impact force?
The terminal velocity of a bullet is the maximum speed it can reach when falling through the air. This speed varies depending on the size and weight of the bullet. When a bullet reaches its terminal velocity, it will no longer accelerate and will fall at a constant speed. The terminal velocity of a bullet can affect its trajectory and impact force in several ways. A higher terminal velocity means the bullet will hit the target with more force, potentially causing more damage. Additionally, the trajectory of the bullet may be affected by air resistance at higher speeds, causing it to deviate from its intended path. Overall, the terminal velocity of a bullet plays a significant role in determining its impact on a target.
How reduce velocity of bullet in air?
To reduce the velocity of a bullet in air, you can increase the drag force acting on the bullet by using a heavier or more aerodynamically shaped bullet, or by increasing the air density (e.g., shooting at higher altitudes). Additionally, you can decrease the initial muzzle velocity of the bullet by using a lower-powered cartridge or firearm.
Which has more momentum a train at rest or a bullet fired from a gun?
A bullet fired from a gun has more momentum than a train at rest because momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. The bullet, despite being smaller in mass compared to the train, can have a significantly higher velocity, resulting in a greater momentum.
How can the concept of momentum compare to a slow moving train and a high speed bullet?
Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. A high-speed bullet has more momentum than a slow moving train because the bullet has a smaller mass but much higher velocity. This means the bullet can have more impact and be harder to stop compared to the train, even though the train has more mass.
How do you apply the concept of momentum to compare the mass and velocity of a slow moving train and of a high-speed bullet?
The momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity. In the case of a slow moving train and a high-speed bullet, the bullet would have a higher momentum due to its higher velocity even if its mass is smaller. This is because momentum is more affected by velocity than by mass.
What is an example of an object with a small mass that has a large momentum?
That would depend on what you consider "large".The size of an object's momentum = (its mass) x (its speed).So, more mass and more speed result in more momentum.
Can a tiny bullet have more momentum than a huge truck?
No, momentum is determined by both mass and velocity. Even though a bullet can have a very high velocity, the mass of a huge truck is much greater, resulting in greater momentum.
Does less grain in a bullet drop less or more?
A bullet with less grain (i.e., lighter weight) generally experiences more drop over a given distance compared to a heavier bullet, assuming both are fired at the same velocity. This is because lighter bullets are more affected by gravity and air resistance, causing them to lose velocity more quickly and drop more. However, other factors like ballistic design and environmental conditions can also influence the bullet's trajectory.
When a rifle with a longer barrel is fired the force of expanding gases acts on the bullet for a longer distance what effect does this have on the velocity?
To a point, the velocity of the bullet will increase. However, at some point, the gasses driving the bullet have maxed out, and beyond that point, the bullet will begin to slow from friction with the barrel. For a .22 LR cartridge, that length is about 12 inches. Larger cartridges have a greater "Max velocity" length, but there is a point of no more gain, and the start of loss of velocity.
During the training, a police fired a bullet to a 10 cm thick wooden board. The bullet loses half of it's velocity after penetrating 3cm. Question: How much distance the bullet will penetrate more?
6cm
What would better stop a bullet a cow or a car?
The only time that a car will stop a bullet is if you are in Hollywood, or have an armour-plated vehicle. A cow interposing itself between the bullet and yourself would reduce it velocity significantly more.
What is the trajectory for 9mm luger?
Impossible to answer without more info. Must have the bullet weight, barrel length, and muzzle velocity.
