Which do you think will hit the ground first a bullet fired from a gun or a bullet dropped from the same height?
The bullet dropped hits first because of the air resistance. This is because the air resistance is proportional to the square of the velocity (on subsonic speeds) once the bullet starts to drop the drag which is directly against its direction gets a lifting component.
What happens when two bullets meet?
The ricochet direction being random, but in the same general direction that bullet was originally flying in. If (material other than bullets is fired at each other) It either explodes, fuses, ricochets, pierces, or explodes the target. Since this is a movie-the bullets hitting each other and dropping is plausible.
Can a bullet go off if it gets too hot?
Ammunition Can Be Damaged in a Hot Car Bullets have to get up to around 400 degrees before they start spontaneously discharging. However, even though your ammo isn’t likely to be set off, it can still be damaged by high heat. This could keep ammo from igniting properly when you fire the gun.
Can bullets randomly explode?
Bullets are pieces of lead, possibly with some copper surrounding it. It is completely inert and no amount of heat will make it “explode”.
Can two bullets be fired at the same time?
Two bullets are fired simultaneously, horizontally and with different speeds from the same place. Which bullet will hit the ground first? depends on the masses. There is only horizontal component of velocity , no vertical component. Since the bullets are fired horizontally from the same place, they have the same height.
What happens when two bullets hit the same block?
One bullet bounces off the steel block while the second becomes embedded in the wood block. “All the masses and speeds are the same,” says Angie, “so I think the blocks will have equal speeds after the collisions.”
Why do Bullets reach the ground at the same time?
since the acceleration (g) is also same for both the bullets they will reach the ground at the same time. Thus, the time taken to reach the ground is independent of the initial horizontal speed of the bullets. Hence, both the bullets fired simultaneously in the horizontal direction from the same height will reach the ground simultaneously.
How many bullets are there in a single shot?
There are two bullets. Both bullets start at the same height, but bullet 1 is dropped straight down while bullet 2 is fired from a gun horizontally at a velocity of 87 m/s. Which bullet will hit the ground first? – Quora There are two bullets.
