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.

Is a bullet leaving a muzzle at it's full speed?
No the full speed of the bullet would be when it is fired, once the bullet travels along the barrel and exits the muzzle it is already slowing
What is it called when an object falling straight down without air resistance?
It is called Free Fall.
What is an example of air friction?
a skydiver falling is affected by air friction or he would fall straight down in an instant
What is the net force of a 7 pound object falling 20 inches?
The net force on a 7 pound object that is falling (accelerating down) is 7 pounds. If it is not falling or moving at a constant speed, it is zero.
Would a bullet fired straight up come down with enough velocity to kill?
Yes. It's possible and it has happened several times for real.
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.
Is a bullet leaving a muzzle at it's full speed?
No the full speed of the bullet would be when it is fired, once the bullet travels along the barrel and exits the muzzle it is already slowing
Injuries that can harm skeletal system?
Car crash, falling from 3 or higher stories building, slide down, hit by bullet,
What is it called when an object falling straight down without air resistance?
It is called Free Fall.
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.
What happens when you fell down a skyscraper?
Logical. When you plummet from an extremely tall building, you're falling straight to your death.
What is an example of air friction?
a skydiver falling is affected by air friction or he would fall straight down in an instant
A rifle is shot straight up and the bullet leaves the barrel at a speed of 245 meters per second How long will it take the bullet to hit the ground?
Is there any wind? What's the elevation and barometric pressure (air density)? What's the coefficient of friction on the bullet's cross-section? How many rotations per minute is the bullet turning? Will it flip and fall point down at the top, or sideways, or tail-first? If you're looking for a "real world" answer, there's a LOT of information missing, a LOT of variables... If you're thinking in a vacuum, no wind, basically a physics class problem, it'll be about 50 seconds, and hit a peak altitude of about 3062.5 meters before falling.
Does a bullet rise or fall first after fired?
The sound may or may not "come first" when a bullet is fired. Particularly if we make the decision after collecting data from down range. The muzzle velocity of some firearms does notexceed the speed of sound. In those cases, the sound will reach a "target" down range before the bullet does. But the muzzle velocity of other firearms does exceed the speed of sound, and in those cases, the bullet will arrive down range before the sound does.
If you shoot a gun up what is the velocity of the bullet coming down?
The velocity of a bullet coming down from altitude is the terminal velocity of the bullet fired. Since not all bullets are equal in mass, it would depend on the grain (weight) of the bullet fired, the caliber of the bullet, and the charge behind the bullet (which would determine the highest possible altitude it could reach). To determine the terminal velocity of any bullet, you must first know these variables and plug in those variables to the equation below: That is, * Vt = terminal velocity * m= mass of the bullet * g = gravitational acceleration * Cd = drag coefficient (wind resistance applied to the bullet as it falls) * ? = denisty of the medium through which the bullet is falling (the atmosphere) * A = projected area of the bullet (which can get complicated due to the shape of the ball). Essentially, the following is true: any bullet fired straight upward is not only potentially but very likely as deadly to anyone it might strike when it lands as if that same bullet were fired directly at that person.
