How long will a bullet take to hit the ground if it is shot it perfectly straight and it's in an open field that is open forever?
Which gun.... of course it could be a toy gun which can barely even fire, in which case it will be like half a metre, or a .50 BMG (12.7 mm) McMillan bolt-action rifle with the longest kill of 2,430 metres (7,972 ft). All depends on power..
(I think he already quanitified the direction when he said 'straight'.... its called horizontal...
What else can I help you with?
Can a bullet fired straight up in the air kill someone on the ground when it comes back down?
Yes, a bullet fired straight up in the air can be lethal when it falls back down to the ground. The force of gravity causes the bullet to accelerate as it falls, potentially reaching a lethal velocity. This phenomenon is known as a "stray bullet" injury.
Shoot a 30 30 bullet straight up how far does it go?
When a .30-30 bullet is shot straight up in the air, it can reach an altitude of around 1 to 2 miles before losing momentum and falling back to the ground. The actual height depends on factors such as the angle of the shot, the bullet weight, and environmental conditions.
A rifle is shot straight up and the bullet leaves the barrel at a speed of 245 miles per second How long will it take the bullet to hit the ground?
Assuming no air resistance, the time for the bullet to hit the ground will be approximately 228 seconds, or about 3 minutes and 48 seconds. This is calculated by using the formula t = 2*v/g, where v is the initial velocity of the bullet and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
A rifle is shot straight up and the bullet leaves the barrel at a speed of 245 ms. How long will it take the bullet to hit the ground?
We're going to ignore air resistance.Time the bullet spends on the way up = 245/9.8 secondsTime it spends on the way down to the same elevation as the muzzle = another 245/9.8 secondsTotal time to return to the elevation of the muzzle = (2 x 245 / 9.8) = 50 seconds.From there, we don't know how high the muzzle of the gun is above the ground, sowe can't calculate the duration of the extra little bit until the bullet hits the ground.
When a bullet leaves a gun the bullet has what type of energy?
The bullet has a great deal of kinetic energy, because of its high speed. It also has a little bit of potential energy relative to the ground, because of its height above the ground.
Will a bullet travel the same distance straight up that it would horizontally?
No. The horizontal distance depends on how close the the ground the gun is. From the firing position, a bullet dropped to the ground will strike the ground in the same time as a bullet shot horizontally forward.
Can a bullet fired straight up in the air kill someone on the ground when it comes back down?
Yes, a bullet fired straight up in the air can be lethal when it falls back down to the ground. The force of gravity causes the bullet to accelerate as it falls, potentially reaching a lethal velocity. This phenomenon is known as a "stray bullet" injury.
If a bullet was fired straight up in a vacuum what speed would it be traveling when it reached the ground?
Exactly the same speed as when it left the barrel (ignoring the distance from the gun to the ground). Why should we do that?

How deep can a bullet go into the ground?
To many variables. Depends on caliber of bullet, type of dirt, type of ammo, distance from gun to ground,etc...

What will hit the ground first the bullet shot horizontally or the one dropped?
In theory, if a bullet dropped vertically at the same instant that a bullet is fired horizontally from a gun at the same height, they should both hit the ground at the same time.This example is used to emphasize that that horizontal motion and vertical motion may be analysed separately since they occur independently of each other.This is one of those things that works better in theory than in practice.There is a caveat that is important if you consider doing this in the real world. The process is not happening in a vacuum. The aerodynamics of the bullet fired at high speed is tremendously important. In early gun design, this was not understood and bullets fired from guns were very inaccurate and went up or down or right or left in unpredictable ways. Modern guns stabilize the trajectory by putting a spin on the bullet. The result makes the bullet act like a gyroscope and then to remain pointed forward when it encounters small anomalies in the air and wind. So, the moving bullet is subjected to vertical forces and can not be expected to drop at the same rate as a bullet with no horizontal motion.The principle of independent horizontal and vertical motion works better when illustrated by throwing and dropping heavy rocks. The principle is entirely correct, but there are more vertical forces involved than gravity with the bullets.
Which bullet strikes the ground first the one that is fires from a rifle or the one that from the rest?
A bullet fired parallel to the gound, over flat ground, and a bullet dropped at the same time from same height will hit the ground at a time so close to each other as to be the same.

Can a bullet ricochet off frozen ground?
Yes, a bullet can potentially ricochet off frozen ground. When a bullet strikes frozen ground at an angle, it may bounce off unpredictably due to the hardness and uneven surface of the frozen ground. This can create a dangerous situation for anyone in the vicinity.
