Not true. If the Earth was flat and had no atmosphere the longest range is acheived with a 45 degree elevation. With atmosphere and the Earth being spherical, the longest range is a bit lower (and such a complicated calculation that this was the first calculation routinely done by computers!)

What is the difference between a 30-06 and a 308?

The .30-06 is 12mm longer, and has a flatter trajectory.


If a cannonball is shot from a longer barrel cannon rather than a shorter barrel cannon it willl have a?

Longer (effective) range. Longer barrels on a firearm allow for more complete burning of the propellant, which results in a higher muzzle velocity, which in turn results in a longer effective range, when compared to an identical weapon with a shorter barrel.


Does friction waste more work on longer or shorter planes how can you tell?

Its longer cuz the longer the flatter the incline plane, and on flatter planes, the object presses more than on the shorter ( steeper ones)

Is a 30-06 a good sniper rifle?

The cartridge itself is. It has a flatter trajectory than the .308. As for the rifle itself, it all depends on the tolerances and build quality.


What is better rifle carteidge for brown bear a 340 weatherby or a 375hh magnum?

The 340 offers as much energy as the 375 with a much flatter trajectory. Use good quality 250 grain bullets and you'll be able to knock down any brownie from any reasonable range without concern.


What is a better caliber 300Wm or 308Win?

You'd have to define what you mean by "better", given that it's a very subjective term. The .300 WinMag is the more powerful cartridge, and has a flatter trajectory. However, it can be excessive at times, as well.


What is the effective range of .38 special versus .357 mag?

25 yds for both. From a 2 inch barrel 25 yds is done with little difficulty with both. The real answer comes down to the powder charge and barrel length. 357 has more powder so has a flatter trajectory and a bit more range. A 4 inch barrel with a hot load and a heavy bullet 158 - 200 grain in .38 or .357 can reach out to 75 - 150 yds. Longer barrel add 25 yds for each inch over 4 inchs up to 8 inches. After that it just runs out of steam.


A good sentence for trajectory?

A sentence for trajectory: The detectives were determining the trajectory of the bullet.


What is the difference between a 308 and a 30-06?

Surprisingly little. Both are .30 caliber, one uses a longer case and more powder, than the other. The 30-06 is a longer cartridge. It is a similar situation as the .38/.357 and the .44mag/.44sp, or the .45LC/.454 The performance difference between the two is pretty small, with the 06 showing a flatter trajectory at the greater distances. Unless you're competitive, you'll be quite happy with either caliber.


Do you push your mouthpiece in or out when your saxophone is sharp?

Out, because it is lengthening the instrument and therefore making it lower, or, flatter and making it no longer sharp.


Why do you think water from the different holes have different trajectories?

the trajectory of water is used as indicator of pressure. The longer the trajectory, the greater is the pressure at that point of the liquid column. Water pressure at any point in a closed container is dependent on the height of the liquid above it.
