Does a bullet train travel faster than a bullet?

bullet trains travel at 96.5 percent the speeed of a bullet No it doesn't. A bullet train does around 190mph normally and can reach 275mph. Depending on calibre, a rifle bullet travels at 1,500-2,000mph. So on average, a bullet train travelling at normal speed travels at between 9.5 and 12.6% of the speed of a rifle bullet.


How does aerodynamics help a bullet train to go fast?

The reduction of airflow across the surface of the train will help facilitate the train's speed by the reduction of the trains resistance to airflow .


What might doctors use to help find a bullet lodged in person 's body?

Forceps and possibly the spot where the bullet penetrated the skin


Can a bullet fire from body heat?

No, it cannot. The maximum amount of heat that a human body can generate at the skin level is around 110 degrees fahrenheit. This is far below the temperature range which would cause spontaneous ignition of the propellant in a modern bullet. Even black powder won't ignite at that low a temperature.It is possible for a bullet to discharge by the force of a body falling on it, but that is extremely unlikely.(and remember, when you say "bullet", what you really should say is "cartridge" - the "bullet" is only the lead/steel portion being expelled out the front, while "cartridge" includes the brass body and propellant as well).

Yes, bullet trains have wheels. They run on rails, just as conventional railroad locomotives and cars do. The trains that operate by magnetic levitation, the so-called MagLev trains, do not have wheels as they ride on a magnetic cushion.
