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.
How far does a bullet travel went shot into the air?
Depends. The caliber of the cartridge, the weapon that fires it, and the angle (straight up, or tilted to one side?) all all variables that will affect how far (or how high) a bullet will go. No one answer for your question- sorry- EDITED AND ADDED: But here's a ballpark figure. If you take a large-caliber military or big game hunting rifle and shoot it into the air on a calm day with the barrel pointed about 35 degrees above horizontal, the bullet will reach about one mile (roughly 5000 feet) in altitude above the ground at the peak of its arc, and it will land on the ground (or water) about 3 miles away. It will land with a lot less speed then when it began its trip, but it will still be dangerous. If you fire the bullet straight up into the sky, it could go up to 10,000 feet altitude ---roughly 2 miles above ground level. That's why military aircraft consider any altitude below 10,000 feet to be "within range" from small arms fire from the ground. Above 10,000 feet they're safe from regular rifles and hand-carried machineguns, but bigger cannons can still reach them.
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.
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...
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.
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 you shot a bullet with no gun?
Yes, a bullet can be shot with no gun. A bullet does not need a lot of speed to kill someone. Say someone threw a bullet to the ground, it might bounce back up and hit you, thus causing you to die or be injured

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?

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.
How far does a bullet travel being shot from a hand gun?
The distance a bullet travels when shot from a handgun can vary widely based on factors such as the type of ammunition, the handgun's caliber, and environmental conditions. Generally, a bullet can travel anywhere from a few hundred yards to over a mile. However, the bullet's effective range for hitting a target accurately is typically much shorter, usually within 50 to 200 yards. Ultimately, the bullet will eventually lose velocity and fall to the ground due to gravity and air resistance.
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...
