A 9mm bullet will travel approximately 2200 meters before it begins to descend to the ground. However, unless the person shooting the gun is in a open field, the bullet will not travel that far before hitting something.
No, the bullet that is shot will continue to travel at a high speed until it hits something, while the dropped bullet will fall to the ground due to gravity. The two bullets will not land together.
A 12 gauge slug can typically travel around 100-150 yards before it begins to drop significantly due to gravity. Beyond this distance, accuracy and energy will decrease as the slug loses velocity and starts to fall.
no. as long as there are no obstacles present, the bullet would theoretically fall longer than the gun, because the Earth is curved, and the Earth would curve away from the bullet just a little bit before the bullet reached the Earth's surface, making the fall just a little bit longer. this effect will be magnified if the bullet moves at a very high velocity. This is essentially what happens when an object is in orbit, only when an object is in orbit, it is moving quickly enough that the Earth has completely curved out of it's falling path before it reaches the ground.
Assuming that the gun is fired parallel to the ground, the bullet will begin to fall the instant that it leaves the muzzle. The total fall will be 200 meters. You will need to calculate how long it will take an object to fall 200 meters (hint- about 9.753 meters per second per second- or 9.753 meters the first second, 19.50 meters during the second second, etc) THEN multiply the velocity of the bullet (643 meters/ second) by the number of seconds it is in flight. That will be the distance when it hits the ground.
An object in motion will stay in motion until acted on by another opposing force. So gravity causes a bullet to fall back to the ground, but wind and air resistance cause the bullet to not fall strait back from where it came, aka one barrel. ____________ The above is true, only if Newtons theories are correct. If Newtons Theories are incorrect, then the bullet performs in the manner The Creator of all things and happensings decreed that it will. [see discussion on this comment]
in fall.
ALL bullets fall at 32 ft per second per second. When you fire a gun, the bullet begins to drop as it leaves the barrel, To hit things further away, you aim higher. You can try this with a garden hose. Over a given distance, the bullet that will drop the least is the fastest- it simply gets there quicker, and has not had time to fall as far.
No, the bullet that is shot will continue to travel at a high speed until it hits something, while the dropped bullet will fall to the ground due to gravity. The two bullets will not land together.
As soon as it leaves the muzzle of the rifle. To hit a target at any distance, the line of sight of the barrel will be tilted so that it is ABOVE horizontal- and gravity will cause the bullet to curve back to earth- or your target.

Hornets typically leave their nest in the fall, before the winter season begins.
When they say night begins to fall actually means darkness appears therefore night fall.

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.
Gravity has an effect the instant the bullet leaves the barrel. The bullet starts to fall towards the earth at the same rate as the dropped bullet. However, (assuming the ground follows the curve of the earth, or you are shooting over water) the dropped bullet will hit the ground/water first. The reason is that the as the fired bullet falls the ground is receding away from it (the curve of the earth). The extreme example of this is: the bullet is fired fast enough that as it falls, the curve of the earth is 'falling' continuously away below it; we would say this bullet is now in orbit around the planet. However, if the ground you are shooting over is 'flat' (i.e. flat like a ruler, NOT following the curve of the earth) then: yes, the two bullets will hit the ground at the same time.
Fall begins on September 22, 2009. Winter begins on December 21, so fall ends December 20.
