travels straight up until ...? As a bullet falls,it velocity increases until it reaches a maximum value- this called terminal velocity. The magnitude of the bullet's maximum velocity will depend on its size (calibre), whether it tumbles or not and whether it falls nose or blunt end first.
A 2.00g bullet fired from rifle has an initial velocity of 841m/s and travels straight up until it reaches an altitude of 2800m. As it falls, it reaches a terminal velocity of 210m/s.
a) If the rifle has a mass of 3.80kg, what is the recoil velocity of the rifle?
b) how much energy is lost as a result of air resistance as the bullet rises to its maximum altitude?
