Does a bullet drop to the ground if it doesnt hit anything?
If you shoot a gun and the bullet travels without hitting anything, would it just drop to the ground?
Answers:
yes

must do
eventually yes how far it would go depends on the speed it left the gun and wat size the bullet is
eventually it will.
eventually
Not if you fired it at a speed which took it into space
yes it does i know this for a fact as i used to go shooting with my dad, and i once tried it
No, it keeps going til it hits something, I,ve been hit 67 times today cos I live near an Army range.
yeah because the acceleration of the bullet is ceased and the bullet begins to slow because of the effects of air drag which causes the bullet to fall to the ground in the end if it doesn't hit anything!
You are joking right? If you throw a ball and it doesn't hit anything or doesn't get caught does it hit the ground?
it would follow a path of trajectory, and as the velocity slowed, gravity would pull the object (in this case a bullet) towards the centre of the earth. It would not reach the center however as it would come into contact with the surface of the earth first.
What goes up, must come down.
Yup Yup.
No, it just keeps on going. and.. going. and ..going...
Of course it will drop to the ground, eventually all things come down, its not gonna go around the world!
Guess it will
Yes.
Yes. Where else would it go? And no it won't make it to space.
gradually yes
If you try to light a fart on fire and it doesn't work, would it still stink? Where else would the bullet go?
yes, it's called gravity!
gravity works everytime
i can't believe that question was asked or answered
no it just goes into outer space,,,,,
or perhaps just keeps traveling around the globe at bullet speed
The bullet doesn't just come to rest and then drop. If you shoot more-or-less horizontal, the bullet will still be moving forward fairly quickly when it hits the ground, and it could bounce or dig itself in.
If you shoot more upwards, the bullet will be moving downwards when it hits the ground, at about the same angle you shot it upwards, and it will dig in.
Yes, it would. A bullet is only in the air for the same amount of time as it would if you had just dropped it. The only difference is that it has a lot more velocity, and so travels for a large distance before hitting the Earth.
Contrary to popular beleif a bullet does not travel in a straight line when fired from a gun, instead it begins a parabolic curve rising slightly above the line of sight before curving towards the earth influenced by gravity.
The basic ballistics page I've linked has further details and helpful graphs for various parabola
ever heard of gravity dear? :-)
if a bullet is shot into the air and doesn't hit anything, the air resistance gradually slows the bullet to the point where it will drop to the ground
yes as law of gravity work on earth, (wot goes up must *** down)
Yes of course, it will accelerate to the ground at 9.8 m/s2 as all objects do on earth, and the horizontal velocity will remain almost constant (if we ignore air resistance which is negligable). So it will gradually (depending on the height at which it was launched from - if you launched it from a cm above the ground then it would curve down very quickly). This curve is the basis for an interesting story: A poacher aims his gun directly at a monkey - now the monkey at the moment he hears the gun fire, drops from the tree and gets shot right in the heart - this is because the bullet and monkey are accelerating to the ground at exactly the same rate because they both experience the same gravitational effect.
If you launch a bullet high enough and fast enough, it will keep curving and falling but never reach the ground because it will always overshoot - and this is being in orbit.
gravity will pull almost everything towards the center of the earth so it may be the ground or the top of a car, top of a building.whatever..so if there was nothing for it to hit or land on, then yes it will come to rest on the ground.
