Falling, and not tumbling end over end, the bullet will accelerate (due to gravity) at 32 ft per second- per second- until it reaches the terminal velocity- limited by air resistance- around 300 mph. If tumbling end over end, more air resistance, less speed- about 225 mps MAXIMUM.

What is the speed of a bullet coming down?
The speed of a bullet coming down, when fired vertically upwards and then falling back under the influence of gravity, will be the same as its speed when it was initially fired upwards. This is because gravity affects both the upward and downward trajectories equally, assuming no other forces are involved. The speed will depend on the initial velocity of the bullet when fired.
How fast will a bullet fired straight up be traveling when it returns to earth?
Without air resistance, it would have the same speed at which it was fired up (this follows from conservation of energy). However, in practice there is always air resistance, so the speed at which it returns will be less.
Would a bullet fired straight up come down with enough velocity to kill?
No, a bullet fired straight up will lose its velocity as it reaches its peak height due to air resistance, and will fall back down at a much slower speed than when it was fired. It is highly unlikely for it to come down with enough velocity to kill someone. However, firing a gun upward is still dangerous as it can cause harm if it hits someone when falling back down.
If you shot a bullet in to the air could the bullet kill you on its way down?
Yes, a bullet shot into the air can come down with enough force to cause serious injury or death. This is known as a "falling bullet" or "stray bullet" phenomenon, and it is important to never shoot a firearm into the air as the bullet can still retain lethal velocity when descending.
What is the instantaneous speed of an object that is at it's highest point when it is thrown straight up in the air?
The instantaneous speed of an object at its highest point when thrown straight up in the air is zero. At the highest point, the object has momentarily stopped moving upwards and is just about to start falling back down due to gravity.
How fast does a 357 bullet go?
They depends on the weather, the aiming degree. For instance if you're shooting upwards, the bullet will slow down until it starts falling down, which will increase the speed.

What does air resistance cause falling object to do?
it slows down their speed

Could a bullet shot straight in the air come down and kill someone?
Yes. It has happened before.
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.
If you throw a ball straight upward at a speed of 20 meters per second how long will it take to reach zero speed?
The ball will reach zero speed at the peak of its trajectory after approximately 2 seconds. This is because the acceleration due to gravity will gradually slow down the ball until it stops momentarily before falling back down.
Injuries that can harm skeletal system?
Car crash, falling from 3 or higher stories building, slide down, hit by bullet,
If you shoot a gun will the bullet hit you in the head when it comes down?
I assume what you are asking is "if you shoot a gun straight up in the air will the bullet come down at the point where it was shot from". The answer to that question is NO, the rotation of the earth will move the point of impact.
