Bullets have no explosives.

You may be thinking of a cartridge, which is a case, powder, primer, and bullet.

It is very unlikely that the cartridge will do much of anything, but if the primer is struck hard enough, it can make a loud bang, but is unlikely to hurt anyone.

What sound is made when an egg hits the ground?

When an egg hits the ground, it typically makes a cracking or splatting sound. The sound may vary depending on the height of the drop and the surface it lands on.


When a bullet is shot and the other one is dropped do they both land together?

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 rifle is fired at a distant target and bullet is fired horizontally from a gun you drop a bullet from the height of the barrel if there ain't air resistance which bullet hits the ground 1st explain?

Both bullets would hit the ground at the same time, regardless of their initial velocities. This is due to the fact that in the absence of air resistance, the only force acting on the bullets is gravity, which causes all objects to fall at the same rate regardless of their mass or initial velocity.


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.


A bullet fired horizontally over level ground hits the ground in 0.5 seconds If it had been fired with twice the speed in the same direction it would have hit the ground when?

Assuming no affects from air and a smooth geography, both bullets would fall at the same rate of 9.81 m/s^2 toward earth, and hit the ground simultaneously. You have to look at the bullet's velocity as having a horizontal and vertical velocity vectors. The vertical velocity vector is independent from that of the horizontal. The horizontal vector would be the speed at which the bullet is fired, and the vertical vector is the speed at which the bullet falls due to gravity.

What happens when a gun gets hit directly by a bullet?

Damage. How much depends on the gun that fired the bullet that hits it. it probably would explode


Will a stick of dynamite explode if struck by a rifle bullet?

Yes, as a rife bullet is driven by a spark, and once it hits the TNT, it will create another spark, and another bigger BOOM! --(Except TNT is NOT the same as Dynamite)--


How can you get bullet points in Microsoft Publisher 2003 or 2007?

Does a 22 cal bullet rise at 75 yards?

no! all bullets fall. A bullet dropped from the edge of a table at the same time a bullet at the same table height leaves a barrel hits the ground at the same time.


Ignoring air resistance a bullet fired horizontally has how many forces acting on it after leaving the rifle?

One. Only the bullet's weight. In this case, the bullet would not decelerate and will keep moving at muzzle velocity until it hits the ground.

How far does a hollow point bullet travel before it hits the ground fired from a .32 cal derringer handgun?

The path is close to a parabola.


If you drop two object of different masses and they are 6 feet apart from each other which one hits the ground first?

If they're 6 feet higher and lower from each other and you drop them both at the same time, then the lower one hits the ground first. If they're 6 feet left and right from each other but the same height off the ground and you drop them both at the same time, then they both hit the ground at the same time.


Why did the atomic bomb explode before it hit the ground?

Tthe bomb is detonated before it hits the gound covering a wider area of effect, thus leaving more destruction then it would if it hit the ground.


Can a slug bullet kill you?

Yes, any bullet can kill you. The amount of damage a bullet does depends on several factors, basically: where it hits you, how hard it hits you, and how big the bullet is (or how much it expands).
