That depends.... IF it's fired exactly perpendicular to the Earth, AND there is no influence from winds, then - theoretically it should land in exactly the same place it was fired from.

Will a shot bullet land at the same time dropped bullet?

No, the shot bullet will land after the dropped bullet. This is because the shot bullet has an initial horizontal velocity in addition to the vertical acceleration due to gravity, while the dropped bullet only has the vertical acceleration due to gravity.


Where will a coin land if you drop it in a bus moving at constant speed and in a straight line?

The coin will land straight back down in the same spot from where it was dropped in the bus, assuming the bus is moving at a constant speed in a straight line without any sudden changes in acceleration. This is because the coin is moving with the bus at the same velocity when dropped.


If you jumpedup and down on the roof of a moving train would you land in the same place?

No, you would not land in the same place since the train is moving. Your horizontal velocity would be combined with the train's velocity, affecting your landing position.


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...


How fast will a bullet fired straight up be traveling when it returns to earth?

Without air resistance, it would have the same speed at which it was fired up (this follows from conservation of energy). However, in practice there is always air resistance, so the speed at which it returns will be less.

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.


What is the distance in a straight line from one place on a ripple to the same place on the next ripple?

The distance in a straight line from one place on a ripple to the same place on the next ripple is called the wave length.


What effect does rifleing in the barrel of a gun have?

It makes the bullet spin when it is fired- much the same way a football spins in flight. The helps the bullet travel in a straight line, improving the accuracy of the gun.


What do you do after you move Snorlax?

you have to continue to that same place you have to go straight


If a large cal and small cal rifle are fired in a vacuum which bullet would land first?

ALL items- large or small- fall at the same speed when affected by gravity. A large bullet and a small bullet, both fired parallel to the ground, will hit at the same time if fired at the same time from the same distance above ground. The FASTER will hit further away, but at the same time.


Does a bullet projected into the sky return at the same velocity it left?

Yes, it does, and it can do damage when it hits. No bullet shot from any gun comes even remotely close to going far enough to go into orbit.


If you sit on a moving bus and toss a coin straight up into the air where will it land?

The coin is traveling at the same velocity as the tosser, so it will land the same as if you were standing still.


Why don't objects dropped at the same height land in the same place?

Because it didnt fell like being in the same place. lol


Is the micro bullet scooter and the micro scooter bullet the same thing?

Yes, they are probably the same thing.


What happens to projectiles fired vertically into the air Discuss the factors that determine the speed of return to earth Are they still dangerous?

If a gun is fired into the air at a perfect right angle to the earth, the bullet will travel straight up until it stops and falls back to earth. When the bullet reaches the ground, it will be travelling at the same speed as when it exited the gun. Being hit with this bullet would be the same as being shot.


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?
