If the bullet were shot perfectly vertically in a vacuum, it would reach its maximum altitude, then fall at a velocity of 32 ft/sec/sec. The terminal velocity would depend upon the altitude reached by the bullet, which in turn depends upon the caliber and load of bullet shot.

How fast does a bullet travel in space?
To figure this out first fire the bullet in a place with zero air on earth and see how fast it goes. The ratio between airless earth-speed and airless space-speed would be the same as the ratio between the bullet's and rifle's(As well as the casing combined with the shooter. Both of these are in a sense part of the rifle temporarily) masses. The bullet would travel slower because the rifle and shooter weigh nothing and therefore offers no solid point for the bullet to push off of. [example] * Bullet mass: Shooter+Rifle+casing mass = 1:100 [example] now take this ratio and make it a fraction... (1/100). *Subtract (1/100)th of the airless earth speed and the remainder will be your space speed. *subtract (99/100) from the original earth speed and you would get how fast you would fly backwards when firing the weapon in space. lol no joke the bullets explosion will move YOU because YOU are weightless. * If you stood on your space ship with magnetic boots and fired the bullet straight above your head, then the bullet would travel faster because the ship is now added to the rifles mass.
What is faster than a bullet?
* The speed of light in a vacuum, * The speed of sound,
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.
What happens to projectiles fired vertically into the air Discuss the factors that determine the speed of return to earth Are they still dangerous?
If a gun is fired into the air at a perfect right angle to the earth, the bullet will travel straight up until it stops and falls back to earth. When the bullet reaches the ground, it will be travelling at the same speed as when it exited the gun. Being hit with this bullet would be the same as being shot.
If you fired a bullet and it never dropped would it orbit the earth and hit you?
In theory, yes. In practice, no. In theory, You could fire the bullet with such a great speed that it would orbit the Earth, even if it was only at a height of 1 meter from Earth's surface. In practice, however, their is air resistance. This would cause the bullet to lose speed, and eventually it would fall the the ground.
