When a rifle is fired horizontally the bullet leaves the barrel and doesnt drop at all for the first 35 meters of flight Is this true?
No, this statement is not true. When a rifle is fired horizontally, the bullet immediately begins to drop due to gravity as soon as it leaves the barrel. The rate of drop will depend on the muzzle velocity of the bullet and the distance it has traveled.
Is the bullet whizzed by the target an oxymoron?
No, the phrase "bullet whizzed by the target" is not an oxymoron. An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms, like "jumbo shrimp" or "deafening silence." In this case, the phrase describes the action of a bullet quickly passing by a target and does not contain contradictory terms.
If a rifle is fired horizontally and an identical bullet dropped from the height of the barrel Which hits the ground first?
They hit at almost exactly the same time. Just because the bullet from the gun is moving horizontally at high speed, this does not mean it escapes the pull of gravity. However, the direction of the fired bullet is "horizontal" (perpendicular to the vertical pull of gravity). This vector is very slightly tangential to the force of gravity, because the Earth is curved. So although the bullet path describes an arc, it is very, very slightly above the curvature of the Earth. The difference for this case would be practically immeasurable. However, for faster projectiles it would be proportionally larger.
Is a rocket blasting an equal or opposite reaction?
A rocket blasting is an example of Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, the action is the expulsion of gases out the back of the rocket, propelling it forward, while the reaction is the rocket moving in the opposite direction.
How bullets work?
A bullet is the part of a cartridge that is fired from the gun. A cartridge consists of a cartridge case, primer, powder, and the bullet. The primer is struck by the firing pin, and explodes. In doing so, it ignites the gunpowder. Rapidly burning powder produces a rapidly expanding gas. This pushes the bullet out of the barrel.
What are the forces of a machine gun?
Unsure of your question. There are several forces. When the gun is fired, one force- expanding gasses from the burning gunpowder, pushes the bullet forward out of the barrel. PART of that force is diverted to extract the fired cartridge case, and to load a fresh cartridge. The ACTION of driving the bullet forward is matched by a REACTION- the recoil or "kick" of the firearm being pushed back.
Is left behind and is not propelled when the gun as been fired?
the bullet case
How can you trace a criminal by a bullet?
When a bullet is fired from a rifled firearm, the rifling leaves marks on the bullet. Those marks are unique to that gun, and no other gun makes exactly the same marks. If a bullet (or fired cartridge casing) is recovered from a crime scene, and we suspect that YOUR gun was used to commit this crime, then a sample bullet is fired from your gun, and compared to the crime scene bullet. A comparison microscope is used to compare the bullets, or marks made on the fired cartridge case by the extractor and firing pin.
Will anything happen if you fire a bullet that has already been fired?
There are bullets (that is the projectile that gets shot out of the barrel) and cartridges (cartridge case, powder, primer, bullet) It may be possible to recover a fired bullet, load it into a cartridge case with a new primer and powder, and shoot it again- BUT bullets are generally rather soft, and likely to get bent up on impact. Once a CARTRIDGE has fired, it needs to have the old primer removed, new one installed, fresh charge of gunpowder put in place, and THEN load a bullet into the cartridge case.
Do gauss guns have recoil and how does recoil come about if the force that is launching the bullet is magnetism?
Yes, there would be some. Remember, for every action (in this case, the propulsion of the projectile) there is an equal and opposite reaction.
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 does one reload bullets?
ACTUALLY, you reload cartridges, not bullets. The fired cartridge case is cleaned, and the old primer removed with a punch type tool. A new primer is pressed into place, the case pushed through a sizing die that squeezes it back to original size (they expand a little when fired). A measured charge of gunpowder is poured into the case, and a bullet is pressed into the neck of the case. The case may be crimped against the bullet to hold it in place.
When a rifle is fired horizontally the bullet leaves the barrel and doesnt drop at all for the first 35 meters of flight Is this true?
No, this statement is not true. When a rifle is fired horizontally, the bullet immediately begins to drop due to gravity as soon as it leaves the barrel. The rate of drop will depend on the muzzle velocity of the bullet and the distance it has traveled.
What are the grooves on a bullet?
Couple of different answers to your question. With a FIRED bullet, grooves that spiral around the bullet are ballistic markings- lines engraved by the rifling in the barrel. In the case of grooves that run around the bullet, and filled with a waxy substance, those are grease grooves that hold lubricant. A single groove with no filler is a cannelure- spot for the cartridge case to be crimped into to hold a bullet snugly before firing.
Can a 9mm be fired from a 380 rated handgun?
NO!! Although the bullet diameter is the same, the case length is different and should not chamber in the 380 caliber handgun.
What is the name of case of bullet after fire a shot?
The same as it is before it's fired - a casing. Some refer to an empty casing as a "shell" or "shell casing".
What are the effects of bullet in a 22 rifle while being shot?
Let's begin by defining some terms. The BULLET is the projectile that is fired from a rifle. It is part of the cartridge- along with the cartridge case, powder and primer. When a CARTRIDGE is fired, the firing pin strikes and pinches the rim, causing the primer (a sensitive explosive) to detonate. This produces a flash of heat that ignites the gunpowder. The rapidly burning gunpowder produces hot, expanding gasses. Those gasses push against the base of the lead bullet, and very rapidly accelerate the bullet to about 1400 feet per second. As the bullet is forced into the barrel, it is squeezed into the rifling (spiral grooves cut inside the barrel). That rifling causes the bullet to spin very rapidly, improving the accuracy. The bullet gains heat both from the hot gasses, and from friction with the barrel of the rifle. Just as the bullet is pushed forward, the rifle will also be pushed backwards by an equal force. Known as recoil, or "kick", it demonstrates the physical law of every action having an equal and opposite reaction.
