Why water is bulletproof?
Water is not bulletproof. However, water can slow down or stop a bullet depending on its velocity and caliber. The resistance of water against a bullet is due to the density and mass of the water molecules which can deform, fragment or disperse the bullet's energy.
Do the sun's tanning rays penetrate water and to what degree?
All the sun's rays penetrate water, but each color penetrates to a different depth. The colors at the upper end of the light spectrum, especially the UV (ultraviolet) that causes tanning, penetrate deepest. The UV portion of the sun's light can penetrate into clear water for a hundred feet or more at midday. The safest way to avoid overexposure is to remember that if you can see the sunlight, it may cause sunburn, and to limit exposure accordingly or perhaps wear a T-shirt or wet-suit.
Why is the waxy cuticle penetrated bystomato?
Tomatoes penetrate the waxy cuticle to exchange gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen needed for photosynthesis and respiration. This allows for proper water and nutrient uptake, as well as the release of excess water vapor. The penetration also helps in defending against pathogens and pests.
Is water faster than a bullet?
No, a bullet travels faster than water. The speed of a bullet can vary depending on the type and caliber, but it is generally much faster than the speed of sound in air (about 343 meters per second or 1,235 kilometers per hour), while water only flows at a few meters per second.
What is the word which can't dissolve in water?
A substance is 'insoluble in water' if it will not dissolve in water, although it may dissolve in another solvent.
How far will a bullet form a 30 caliber machine gun travel under water?
Only a few feet. Water slows and stops bullets rather effectively.
How far does green light penetrate water?
this depends on the particulates and chemical makeup of the water
Can a bullet ricochet off water?
Yes, a bullet can ricochet off water, but the angle and speed at which it hits the water will affect the likelihood of it happening.
What is water clarity?
Water clarity is a measure of the amount of sunlight that can penetrate through the water
Why water is bulletproof?
Water is not bulletproof. However, water can slow down or stop a bullet depending on its velocity and caliber. The resistance of water against a bullet is due to the density and mass of the water molecules which can deform, fragment or disperse the bullet's energy.
How far does light penetrate underwater?
The depth light can penetrate underwater depends on water clarity and the angle of the sun. In clear ocean water, sunlight can penetrate up to 200 meters (656 feet). In murky or turbid water, light penetration may only be a few meters.
What kind of tissue can an ultrasound penetrate?
It penetrates water very well and soft tissues to variable degrees. It does not penetrate bone.
What is the process for creating a bullet made of ice?
To create a bullet made of ice, water is frozen in a bullet-shaped mold. The mold is then placed in a freezer until the water solidifies into the shape of a bullet. The ice bullet can then be removed from the mold and used for various purposes, such as cooling drinks or for artistic displays.
What types of molecules can penetrate the stratum corneum?
a water molecule
What happens when a bullet hits water?
Depends on the angle at which the bullet hits the water. At a shallow angle (less than 45 degrees) the bullet may bounce off the water, just as if it had hit a hard surface. At more direct angles, the bullet will splash, and may be deflected from a straight path. It will stop fairly quickly due to the resistance of the water.
Why is it hard for headlight beams to penetrate a thick fog?
Fog is in essence tiny water particles. The light goes into a straight line as long as there are no objects colliding with it. However, water not only stops the light particles, it refracts them, causing the light to go in every direction except straight ahead.
What's the difference between water-resistant and waterproof?
Water-resistant means that an item can resist water to some extent, but may still allow some water to penetrate over time. Waterproof means that an item is completely impervious to water and will not allow any water to penetrate.
