Something to think about...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-16-07 AT 10:28PM (MST)[p]Lets see who has thier thinking caps on...

Which bullet will hit the ground first?

Bullet (a) 55 gr spire point at 3800 FPS....

Bullet (b) 200 gr round nose at 2000 FPS...

Bullets are both fire at the same horizontal plane

I know the answer, but ill let some more people try!

 

[Racktracker]

Neither or both...depending on how you look at it.

THEY HIT THE GROUND AT THE SAME TIME!!!

THE ONLY bobcat!!!

 

[romannose]

Which ever one is fired first!

 

[YukonDall]

the faster bullet hits the ground first.

 

[bigdaddy]

im going to go with bobcat on this and say they hit the ground at the same time!

 

[BCBOY]

I'd say this is a trick question. Neither hit the ground. Both end up in a shoulder blade?

 

[BuckSnort]

Good job bobcat..

Both bullets hit the ground at the seame time.The faster bullet travels farther than the slower one.

SNORT, I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ANYTHING, BULLETS, OR ANY OTHER PROJECTILE TO DO ANYTHING AT EXACTLY THE SAME INSTANT. THE BULLETS WOULD EVEN BE A MORE EXTREME CASE SINCE THERE IS ALSO A VELOCITY ISSUE HERE AS WELL. IN COLLEGE IN DID A PROJECT ON PROJECTILES, TERMINAL VELOCITY, GRAVITY, & PROBABILITIES. (WASN'T A GREAT SPELLER THEN EITHER). I ADMIT ANYONE COULD BE WRONG ON THIS, BUT I WOULDN'T TAKE ANY BETS ON THIS ONE IF I WERE YOU. OF COURSE WITH THE RIGHT EQUASIONS/FORMULAS IT COULD BE PROVEN ON PAPER PERHAPS, BUT NOT DUPLICATED IN A LAB./OR IN THE FIELD. (DONT BET THE FARM) JUST MY 2CENTS, .. YD.
