Gun Friction
Gun Friction
How far can a bullet fired by a gun before traveling gravity and air friction to bring him to the ground?
assuming shooting perfectly horizontal d = 1 / 2 a * t ^ 2 where d = distance from the ground, and a = 9.81 m / s – t. clear The drag is negligible, and the bullet will have the same amount of time A crash to the ground as if he dropped a ball. So how "far" basically depends on how you can shoot your gun. If you is trying to shoot, then it becomes more complicated. Would have to estimate the vertical component upward. We want to solve by using d = Vot + 1/2a * t ^ 2. and Vf ^ 2 = Vo ^ 2 +2 * a * d where Vf = 0, and Vo = the vertical initial velocity of the bullet out. Unfortunately, this equation neglects friction air-drag and resistance. This would be more complicated. You would need to know the speed of a bullet as a result of the resistance could be. Of Wikipedia, you get something really ugly.
