Where Does The Bullet Of A Gun Shot In The Air Goes To? by HarlequinLekex: 10:07am On Sep 05, 2022 |
Does it disappear in the air or finally lands back on the ground if the latter is so,is there any effect if it lands on human? |

What goes up...will surely come down....the force the bullet used in going up is not thesame force when coming down. It won't have any effect when it lands on human's body 9 Likes 5 Shares |

Now, this would be an experiment. If you shoot vertically upward, the bullet is likely to land on the spot you stand on I would think. So we just need to apply gravity and calculate the speed of the bullet when it lands on your head, though I confess I've never tried it so don't quite know. 3 Likes |

To heaven just joking If it was shot straight to the sky it will land in its take off spot. But if the gun was pointed at a specific angle then we take the bullet into consideration as a projectile. Where the speed, angle and direction of bullet will be examined to ascertain its landing location. I stand to be corrected 3 Likes |

dex4sure: Normally stray bullet shot in the air shouldn't have piercing effect when it lands on human body... But when i was 13years old a bullet came through the roof, ceiling, and broke our glass centre table..narrowly missed my elder brother .it was that day i started to suspect that when village people have your time....the small exception to the general rule can come to play 18 Likes 4 Shares |

advanceDNA: It will have effect simply because e still dey travel, while descending it will gain speed and the shape is designed to pierce. 2 Likes |

budaatum: It can never land on the same spot. There would be a collision. Air in the atmosphere would push it as it reaches its limit before landing. As it begins to decelerate( side collision), air pushes it with low speed, then it comes to a final stop, then it falls. As it falls, air pushes it also. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

YeyeGbami: Change in direction will change speed..the force it used in coming out of the gun's chamber can never be the same it will sigficantly reduce when making a free fall under gravity's pull... For a bullet to pierce you after being shot in the air...it has to turn the opposite direction and gain enough speed pointing the sharp edge...fight air resistance and so on...u see why i called it unfortunate scenario?? 2 Likes |

Light78: I too doubt it would land on the same spot, though he might be lucky if he compensates for wind deflection, but I don't think it will decelerate in speed as it fall. It would decelerate as it rises until it stops and then free falls at 9ms², is what I think. Air Resistance might resist this but the ergonomics of a bullet might leave enough force to penetrate a skull if he gets the wind deflection angle correct. The following might educate us. https://www.newscientist.com/lastword/mg25233622-900-can-bullets-fired-upwards-cause-injuries-when-they-return-to-earth/ 1 Like

Small question now, thread wan enter 2 pages. The answer is simple: The bullet disappears or it becomes a spirit. |

dex4sure:who told you? When coming down it got twice as much the force been shot up, hence coming down as stray bullet. If that stray bullet hit you na die sure ohh. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

advanceDNA: It must have been shot nearby. Again it depends on the type of gun we are talking about. Mounted machine guns can still rip a human apart at a distance of 2000Metres (2KM) while sniper rifle have the longest range and can be still be lethal at about 3500Metres. (3.5KM) |
Re: Where Does The Bullet Of A Gun Shot In The Air Goes To? by Jazzman01: 6:32pm On Sep 05, 2022 |
advanceDNA: Air resistance is negligible due to the streamlined shape of the bullet. So it will still fall with considerable speed and will possess a great deal of energy depending on the height. Using the P.E Equation (Mgh) you can see even though the mass is negligible, if the height is much, it will possess quite alot of energy and this will be felt when it strikes any surface. 1 Like 1 Share |

By the time it goes up and reaches its peak, it's starts falling down. The wind will push it in different directions. It can never land on the same spot if it's shot vertically 1 Like 1 Share |

MALIGNANTGuest:the reason why i asked is because when gun is shot into the air during protest to disperse the crowd ,the crowd will be dispersed and the bullets will eventually land but what of the striking effect on human and things on the normal ground or floor I understand all this projectile,trajectory,motion under gravity,max height and the rest |
