What else can I help you with?
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.
Does a bullet fired from a plane have more velocity than one fired on the ground?
Yes it does ! Even if both bullets are identical and fired from the same make of gun, the one in the plane will already have the velocity the plane is travelling at before it's fired.
A bullet after being fired travels at 60 meters persecond for five minutes so how far has it traveled?
Are you assuming that it keeps travelling at that speed?
What happens when a gun gets hit directly by a bullet?
Damage. How much depends on the gun that fired the bullet that hits it. it probably would explode
When a bullet is fired from a gun what happens to the energy released?
When a bullet is fired from a gun, the energy stored in the gunpowder is converted into kinetic energy that propels the bullet forward. The bullet carries this kinetic energy as it travels through the air until it hits a target or loses its energy through friction and air resistance.
If you shot a bullet straight into the air and it fell to land on your head would you die?
Probably. The bullet would be travelling slower than when it left the gun (see related question) but it would still be travelling fast enough to cause injury. In areas of the world where guns are fired into the air in celebration injury from falling bullets is not uncommon.
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.
Is a bullet fired into a gel or into what material when trying to identify the gun a bullet is fired from?
I used gelatin or a large water tank.
How many parts does a bullet split into when fired?
A bullet will usually stay together when fired, at least until it hits something hard enough to shatter it. If you're asking about what happens to a round of ammunition when fired, it's a bit different. At the very least the bullet will separate from the shell casing. There may also be some filler, and maybe some unburnt powder that gets ejected.
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.
