Two factors- air resistance and gravity. Air resistance is simply slowing the bullet down by having to push air out of the way. Gravity acts on bullets the same way it works on a Baseball- it pulls the bullet down. How far a bullet will travel is a function of it's speed, it's shape and size (air drag) and the angle in relation to the earth it was fired along. But sooner or later, they all come back down.

Why are bullets and casings found at different locations at a crime scene?
1 very basic reason:The bullet comes out the front of the gunA few milliseconds later (Small fraction of a second) the casing comes out of the side of the gun and is thrown a shorter distance but completely different direction.
What type of energy is produced from a speeding bullet?
Kinetic energy is produced from a speeding bullet, which is the energy associated with the motion of an object. This energy comes from the bullet's velocity and mass.
Does a bullet shot from a gun undergo any acceleration after it leaves the barrel?
No- or minimal at best. Acceleration of the bullet comes from gas expanding inside the barrel, pushing the bullet. Once it leaves the barrel, (or within a VERY short distance) gas is no longer pushing, and acceleration stops, and bullet begins to slow from air resistance.
When a bullet is shot up in the air when it comes down will it kill you?
Yes, a bullet shot up in the air can be dangerous when it comes back down. The bullet can reach high speeds on its descent, potentially causing injury or even death if it hits someone. It is important to never shoot bullets in the air as they can pose a serious risk to people's safety.
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.
What is the purpose of a muzzle on a gun?
That is where the bullet comes out of the gun.
What is the highest caliber bullet?
The highest caliber bullet commonly used is a .50 cal. However, there are bullet that are larger in caliber. the 700 Nitro express comes to mind.
What is the barrel on a center fire rifle?
The part which the bullet comes out of....
A 2.5g bullet traveling at 350ms hits a tree and slows uniformly to a stop while penetrating a distance of 12cm into the tree's trunk What force was exerted on the bullet in bringing it to rest?
The force exerted on the bullet can be calculated using the equation for force: force = mass x acceleration. First, calculate the acceleration of the bullet as it comes to a stop using the equation of motion: v^2 = u^2 + 2as, where v is the final velocity (0 m/s), u is the initial velocity (350 m/s), a is the acceleration, and s is the distance travelled (0.12 m). Once you find the acceleration, you can plug it back into the force equation along with the mass of the bullet (2.5 g converted to kg).
How heavy is a 5.56mm bullet?
The 5.56 NATO comes in 55gr, 62gr, 72gr and 77gr. Bullet weight should be matched to barrel twist.

What part of the gun is a barrel?
The gun barrel is the metal part that the bullet comes out of.
Does a bullet shot from a gun undergo any acceleration after it leaves the barrel?

Why is a shell for a gun called a bullet?
Actually, the proper name is "cartridge." The term bullet is an extremly common but incorrect usage when referring to a cartridge. The term bullet only refers to the piece of lead that comes out of the barrel when the gun is fired. The bullet is one component of the cartridge.
A bullet comes from what mineral?
Most bullets are made from two minerals: lead and copper.
What is bullet in Bible really about?
The Green DAy DVD? Well, the name comes from a war museum they visited on tour where there was a bullet in a bible. Sorry if im wrong, but that is what i think.
