Projectile Motion Science Quiz

is defined as the science dealing with the motion of projectiles and the conditions governing that motion.

blank means the metallic and non-metallic objects propelled by means of force

is the action of the bullet passing through a rifled bore barrel firearm which is either twisted to the left or right

is the forward movement of the bullet or shots out of the shell by the action of the expansive force of gases from burning gun powder.

is the action of the bullet once it hits a target and subsequently ricocheted.

a bouncing of the bullet from its original trajectory.

is the unstable rotating motion of the projectile.

it is the end of the projectile wobbles before it picks up a smooth flight path.

It refers to the properties and attributes of the projectile while still inside the gun. It covers from the time; the firearm is loaded with the cartridge, the explosion and the movement of the bullet from the breech to the muzzle of the gun.

the primer should explode, the firing pin should hit such. This is due to the theory of friction wherein there is a resistance to motion created by the firing pin.

The priming it is commonly Yo of very sensitive matein of the cartridge cast. cared senserter portiming mixture, it must de In order the nite the pit be devoid of any moise live an potent and must be devoid of any moisture.

As the primer crushed and ignited, the flash passes through the vent towards the gunpowder That provides the combustion of gunpowder.

There will be an equal expansion of heated gas inside the cartridge, alter the combustion of gunpowder. The gas expanded in a different direction that tends the bullet and shell to separate from each other in the cartridge.

When the heated gas created by the burning powder charge is developed, a tremendous pressure is produced in the chamber of the firearm.

refers to the fatal equivalent of a bullet compared to a pound that is dropped from a certain height.

is due to Newton's third law of motion (law of interaction) which states that every action is always equal and opposite reaction. The forward movement of the bullet atter the explosion results in the backward movement of the cartridge case.
