When a bullet penetrates a target, the bullet's kinetic energy will decrease as it transfers some of its energy to the target. The bullet loses energy as it does work to penetrate the target. Some of the energy is also converted to heat due to friction and deformation of the target material.
There is a Reaction, called recall or kick. That should read "recoil."
When the bullet penetrates into an object its velocity decreases very much or becomes 0 suddenly. This causes a change a momentum of bullet and impulse is applied. Technically the kinetic energy is converted to potential as a deformation occurs inside that object, transferring some of the kinetic energy into the object.
Bullet and a target by citizen cope
When a bullet penetrates a sandbag, some of its kinetic energy is transferred to the sand grains in the form of heat and sound as the bullet slows down and eventually comes to a stop. The rest of the kinetic energy is dissipated as deformation and displacement of the sandbag material.
Shooters aim slightly above the target to compensate for the downward trajectory of the bullet due to gravity. This technique is known as adjusting for bullet drop and ensures that the bullet will hit the target accurately at longer distances.
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 you fire a .45 caliber bullet at a paper target, it will leave a .45 inch hole.
Absolutely not, if you try then the bullet will not go to desired target
A "dud" is a term used to describe a bullet that impacts a target but fails to have any effect, typically due to a malfunction or issue with the round's firing mechanism.
The grains of a bullet, be it black powder or not , is the weight of the bullet. Lets say you have a .50 caliber rifle, and fire a 250 grain bullet at a target and hit dead center. Then fire a 300 grain bullet, that bullet will hit slightly lower on the target , but will have more force or stopping power" due to the weight. So the higher the grain the heaver the bullet.
