At the point of impact, the glass immediately infront of the projectile is powerded. This causes localized stress in the rest of the sheet, as can be seen by the spider web around the hole. The rest of the cracks radiating from the site are where the residual energy from the impact are distributed.

A bullet dropped versus a bullet fired from a gun which has greater acceleration?

The bullet fired from a gun has greater horizontal acceleration. For vertical acceleration, they are both the same.

What is an example of an action reaction forces?

The recoil of a bullet being fired from a gun is a good example, the action force is the gun pushing the bullet away from the gun and the reaction force is the bullet pushing back against the gun (recoil).


Where does a bullet goes after fired to the sky?

When a bullet is fired into the sky, it will eventually stop becasue it has run out of energy and fall back to the ground.


If a bullet was fired down through the earth's atmosphere how long would it take and how fast would it be?

That would depend on the mass of the bullet, the bullet's velocity when it left the barrel of the gun, and from how high up the bullet was fired from.


Can a bullet knock someone over?

Yes, a bullet can potentially knock someone over with the force of impact. However, there are many variables that can influence the effect of a bullet, such as the caliber of the bullet, the distance it is fired from, and where it strikes the body.

If a bullet is fired out of a fighter jet traveling Max speed does the bullet travel faster than if it were fired at a stand still?

No. The bullet will actually travel much slower due to wind resistance.


Can you distinguish between a bullet fired from a .38 caliber and one fired from a 9mm?

Why does a bullet when fired against a glass window pane make a hole in it and the glass pane will smash it?

when a bullet strikes the glass pane with a high velocity, the larger part of the glass plane do not get enough time to share the momentum due to inertia of rest and only that part which is in contact of the bullet is blown off according to the law of conservation of momentum But when a slow moving stone strikes the glass plane a larger part of the glass is able to share the momentum and therefore it smashes the glass


When bullet is fired upwards vertically it gains in?

When a bullet is fired upwards vertically, it gains potential energy as it moves against gravity. This increase in potential energy comes at the expense of its initial kinetic energy. Eventually, the bullet will reach its maximum height and then begin to fall back towards the ground, converting its potential energy back into kinetic energy.
