Bullets fired from a gun don't accelerate, the decelerate from the moment they leave the barrel.

Can you shoot a bullet through a tornado?

You probably couldn't shoot a bullet through a tornado, mostly because of the massive wind speeds that will turn the bullet off-course, and the fact that there is so much stuff flying through the air, that the bullet will hit something and stop.

What is the acceleration towards the inside of a curved path?

"Acceleration" does not mean "speeding up". Acceleration means any changein the speed or direction of motion. An object with no acceleration moves at aconstant speed in a straight line. If its path is not straight, then the directionof its motion changes, which fits the definition of acceleration.


How do you measure an objects acceleration?

Depending on what information you are given but in general, the average Acceleration of an object is the change in speed/time. for example: a plane is flying at 100 m/s initially and after 10 seconds, at 500 m/s, what is the avg acceleration 500-100/10= 40 m/s^2 (squared)


What do Ballistics deal with?

ballistics is the science of launching projectiles flying through the air and hitting a precise target. a bullets trajectory ballistics are affected by: -the weight, size and shape of the bullet. -the amount and type of gunpowder used. -the weapon the bullet is fired from. - gravity -weather conditions like rain, wind, temperature, altitude, humidity and the brightness of the sun - the coreolis effect. As a bullet flies through the air it takes a certain amount of time to reach its target. in that time the earth beneath the bullet is still rotating at 1,674.4 km/h, so in the time your bullet reaches its target it will have moved a bit. and a last word of advise, don't play with guns.

What has more drag a spinning bullet or a nonspinning bullet?

If you assume both bullets are stable and flying point forward, the spinning bullet will have more drag; HOWEVER, the whole purpose of spinning the bullet is to keep it stable and point forward. If you do not do this, the bullet yaws and wobbles wildly drammatically increasing the drag. Therefore, in actual practice, the spinning bullet has less drag because it remains stable and point forward whereas the unspun bullet is unstable and wobbles/tumbles.

What are speed cameras like now?

There are two kinds of speed cameras: 1) For observing the traffic conditions and capture car that speeds across. 2) For capturing mutilple snap shots of a body in motion. E.g. a bullet flying through the air.
