Is the bullet whizzed by the target an oxymoron?
No.
What do Ballistics deal with?
ballistics is the science of launching projectiles flying through the air and hitting a precise target. a bullets trajectory ballistics are affected by: -the weight, size and shape of the bullet. -the amount and type of gunpowder used. -the weapon the bullet is fired from. - gravity -weather conditions like rain, wind, temperature, altitude, humidity and the brightness of the sun - the coreolis effect. As a bullet flies through the air it takes a certain amount of time to reach its target. in that time the earth beneath the bullet is still rotating at 1,674.4 km/h, so in the time your bullet reaches its target it will have moved a bit. and a last word of advise, don't play with guns.
How does the spin of the earth affect shooting at long range?
Depending on where you live on earth, you are spinning at about 1600 km/h. In space/time The same goes for everything else on earth. Depending on how far away you are from the target, from the time you pull the trigger to the time the bullet impacts, the target will have moved a certain distance in space/time. If you aim directly at the target, for a long distance shot, you will miss the shot because the target is no longer in that space/time. Clear as mud?
How is the force of gravitation counteracted by firing a gun?
It isn't.Gravity is always acting on the bullet, from the time it rests on the breech to the time it hits target, and every point in between.At the beginning of its motion, the bullet has velocity in a particular direction. Gravity accelerates the bullet 'downwards' and alters the velocity at each point in time and space. Eventually, the combination of the previous motion and the present velocity makes it strike a target, at which point forces in the target and bullet result in all motion ceasing, and these forces become balanced.
Define trAjectory of the bullet velocity of the bullet velocity?
Bullet trajectory is the path the bullet travels once it leaves the barrel. Bullets travel on a long arch and cross the line of sight twice. Once shortly after leaving the barrel and once again on target assuming the sights are properly zeroed. This is the trajectory of the bullet. Bullet velocity is the speed at which the bullet is traveling along it's trajectory.
When bullet penetrates into the target what happens?
There is a Reaction, called recall or kick. That should read "recoil."
What is the projectile part of the cartridge that hits the target called?
The projectile is called a bullet.
What Is the name of the song that goes put yourself between a bullet and a target?
Bullet and a target by citizen cope
Does an ak 47 bullet go straight?
It is impossible for a bullet to fire straight. In order to hit a target 100 yards away it has to travel a few inches above the target when it is 50 yards away, then at the 1/2 way 50 yard point gravity overcomes the upward trajectory and starts pulling the bullet down. All bullets travel in an arc, the further you are away from the target the larger the arc. Also long distance snipers have to aim the shot a few feet to the right or left of the target to overcome the effect of wind. Also the earths rotation causes the Coriolis Effect which will change the direction of the bullet at long distances. The bottom line is that no bullet will ever travel in a straight line
Is the bullet whizzed by the target an oxymoron?
No.
Does the spiraling barrel of an m-16 cause the bullet to tumble?
This spiraling is called rifling. This imparts a stabilizing spin to a projectile. The M16 has a very tight spiral, but the bullet shouldn't tumble until it hits a target. If you picture a bullet, when the narrow tip first hits a target, it will cause the rest of the bullet to tumble, end over end, and often fragment as well.
How is math used in snipering?
Snipers have to be able to calculate the direction of the bullet taking into account distance, speed (to include the arc that the bullet will travel), wind speed and direction, and the Coriolis effect. This all computes into a rather complex set of equations to accurately put a bullet on target.
How spinning of bullet occurs in a rifle bore gun?
Spiral grooves are etched or cut into the inside of the barrel. These grooves are called rifling. As a lead bullet moves down the barrel, it heats and expands slightly. The edges of the bullet catch in the grooves and the bullet spins. The spinning motion helps the bullet to maintain a straighter course. A projectile that does not spin will begin to curve or tumble, wasting energy and moving off course. The spinning projectile keeps the nose end in front so that the bullet stays close to the target. You can actually see the effect of the spinning by firing tracer bullets at a target at least 100 yards away. The dye on the surface of the bullet leaves a visible spiral in the air which can be observed for a few moments if the light is right.
What size hole does a 45 caliber bullet leave once it hits a target?
If you fire a .45 caliber bullet at a paper target, it will leave a .45 inch hole.
Why is ammo called wad cutters?
Only certain ammunition is called a wadcutter. This is a type of bullet that has a flat front, and is tended for target shooting. On impact with a paper target, it clips a neat, clean hole in the target like a paper punch. Back in the day when shotgun ammo used discs (called wads) of paper or felt, there was a tool used to cut these wads. A wadcutter. The bullet that clipped the neat hole was named after the tool that did the same thing.
Can a 303 bullet be fired from 315 bor desi katta?
Absolutely not, if you try then the bullet will not go to desired target
How does the distace you shoot affect your accuracy with a hunting rifle?
In several ways. First, increased distance requires an increase in "hold over"- or aiming higher than your target (bullet is dropping due to gravity) How MUCH holdover depends on ability to accurately estimate how far your target is from you. <P> Second, increased ranges permit wind to have a more pronounced effect on the flight of the bullet. If the wind pushes the bullet 2 inches at 100 yds, at 500 yds it will be pushed at LEAST 10 inches off target. When hunting, that could mean a clean miss. <P> Finally, a greater range increases the flight time of the bullet. If your target is standing still, no matter. If your target is moving- even at a walk- and it takes 2 seconds for the bullet to arrive, you may have another miss- the animal moved about 10 ft.
