When a plane enters water, it typically experiences significant drag and deceleration due to its larger size and slower speed, resulting in a more controlled but potentially destructive impact. In contrast, a bullet, traveling at much higher speeds, penetrates the water more easily, creating a smaller entry hole and less drag relative to its speed, allowing it to travel further underwater before slowing down significantly. The physics behind both scenarios involves differences in velocity, mass, and surface area, leading to distinct behaviors upon entry.

What is the difference between clean water and polluted water?
contamination is when germs enter the water and pollution of water is when liquid waste or rubbish are thrown in the water.
What is the difference between water and water pollution pollution?
contamination is when germs enter the water and pollution of water is when liquid waste or rubbish are thrown in the water.
Can a bullet ricochet off water?
Yes, a bullet can ricochet off water, but the angle and speed at which it hits the water will affect the likelihood of it happening.
Why water is bulletproof?
Water is not bulletproof. However, water can slow down or stop a bullet depending on its velocity and caliber. The resistance of water against a bullet is due to the density and mass of the water molecules which can deform, fragment or disperse the bullet's energy.
What is the process for creating a bullet made of ice?
To create a bullet made of ice, water is frozen in a bullet-shaped mold. The mold is then placed in a freezer until the water solidifies into the shape of a bullet. The ice bullet can then be removed from the mold and used for various purposes, such as cooling drinks or for artistic displays.
What is the difference between dividing 16 by 2 and finding the square roots of 6?
Those are two completely different operations.
What happens when a bullet hits water?
Depends on the angle at which the bullet hits the water. At a shallow angle (less than 45 degrees) the bullet may bounce off the water, just as if it had hit a hard surface. At more direct angles, the bullet will splash, and may be deflected from a straight path. It will stop fairly quickly due to the resistance of the water.
Why jet skis will not plane out of the water?
Without water, it's impossible for a jet ski to plane. There would be nothing to plane on.
How far will a bullet form a high powered rifle travel under water?
Can't be answered without knowing the caliber, bullet weight and if it is fresh or salt water.
Can plane take off in water?
Some plane's are made to take off and land on water
Is a bullet fired into a gel or into what material when trying to identify the gun a bullet is fired from?
I used gelatin or a large water tank.
Can you shoot a bullet through a mixture of cornflour and water?
no you cant..
