The bullet slows down when firing upward and then coming down due to gravity, which acts as a decelerating force on the projectile. As the bullet reaches its highest point in the trajectory, gravity starts to pull it back toward the ground, opposing its initial velocity and causing it to lose speed. Additionally, air resistance can also contribute to the bullet slowing down as it descends through the atmosphere.

What is the speed of a bullet coming down?
The speed of a bullet coming down, when fired vertically upwards and then falling back under the influence of gravity, will be the same as its speed when it was initially fired upwards. This is because gravity affects both the upward and downward trajectories equally, assuming no other forces are involved. The speed will depend on the initial velocity of the bullet when fired.
What temp is a bullet when fired form a 9mm?
When a bullet is fired from a 9mm handgun, the temperature of the bullet can reach several hundred degrees Celsius due to the friction and compression generated from the explosion in the chamber and the acceleration down the barrel.
How long does it take for a bullet fired into the air to come down?
The time it takes for a bullet fired into the air to come back down depends on the bullet's initial velocity, weight, and aerodynamic properties. In general, it can take anywhere from 30 seconds to over a minute for a bullet to fall back to the ground. However, firing a bullet into the air is extremely dangerous and can cause harm or even death when it falls back down.
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 much does a bullet slow down after being fired?
A bullet hardly slows down at all after being fired. While bullets come in a variety of shapes, sizes and weights, they are all failry aerodynamic and thus minimally impacted by the wind resistance (friction). A bullet's primary enemy is actually gravity. Once fired, it is a matter of time before gravity pulls the bullet crashing down into the earth...assuming it does not strike something first. While a high powered rifle will send a bullet farther and faster than a .38 pistol, fired from the same height, at the same trajectory over level ground, they will have almost identical hang times. Again, the faster bullet will simply go farther. The speed loss for any bullet, (buck shot not included) is negligible. It will strike the ground or object in its way with almost the same speed as when it was fired no matter how far away it is. This is of course excluding shots in the air where there is little horizontal movement and the trajectory is mostly verticle. Here, obvioulsy, gravity will take over and the bullet will ultimately fall back to the ground at the terminal velocity - much slower than muzzle velocity.

If a bullet was fired down through the earth's atmosphere how long would it take and how fast would it be?
That would depend on the mass of the bullet, the bullet's velocity when it left the barrel of the gun, and from how high up the bullet was fired from.
If you shoot a gun up what is the velocity of the bullet coming down?
The velocity of a bullet coming down from altitude is the terminal velocity of the bullet fired. Since not all bullets are equal in mass, it would depend on the grain (weight) of the bullet fired, the caliber of the bullet, and the charge behind the bullet (which would determine the highest possible altitude it could reach). To determine the terminal velocity of any bullet, you must first know these variables and plug in those variables to the equation below: That is, * Vt = terminal velocity * m= mass of the bullet * g = gravitational acceleration * Cd = drag coefficient (wind resistance applied to the bullet as it falls) * ? = denisty of the medium through which the bullet is falling (the atmosphere) * A = projected area of the bullet (which can get complicated due to the shape of the ball). Essentially, the following is true: any bullet fired straight upward is not only potentially but very likely as deadly to anyone it might strike when it lands as if that same bullet were fired directly at that person.

How Did the Red Baron died?
He was shot down by a bullet in his heart, apparently fired by a rifle on the ground.

The sniper throws his revolver down in disgust and is almost hit by the bullet accidentally fired as a result is an example of what?
Stupidity.

How does gravity affect the velocity of a fired bullet?
Gravity will cause a fired bullet to decelerate as it travels through the air, pulling it down towards the ground and affecting its trajectory. The velocity of the bullet decreases over time due to the downward force of gravity, causing it to follow a curved path rather than a straight line.
Can a bullet bring down a jet if fired from the inside?
It's unlikely, but possible. A bullet fired through the skin of the plane (through aluminum) will make a small hole, which will cause a pressure leak. The cabin pressure system can compensate for several such leaks. If a bullet is fired through a window, the window might blow out, causing the cabin to lose pressure fairly quickly--the cabin pressure system can't compensate for a hole that big. While that is hazardous to the passengers, it won't bring down the plane. (Although, the pilots will immediately dive to a lower altitude to recover some cabin pressure). A bullet that punctures a fuel tank or fuel line might lead to a fire which would bring down the plane.
If i shot a bullet into the sky and it came down where I stood would it kill me?
It would kill you although the chances of a bullet returning to earth at the precise spot you fired from would be very unlikely.
