Concorde Vs Bullet
NOt quite.
The bullet would not 'instantaneously' slow down. It has a given amount of energy and is capable of supersonic speeds. The question would be how long would it take to slow down to the Concorde's speed. If you guess a second, and the bullet was fired along the flight path of the airplane, it would have fallen 16 feet be the time it was traveling the same speed, and another number of feet before it slowed down enough for the airplane to catch up to it. During WW2 some airplanes were said to have hit themselves with their own bullets, but I think you can work out how that might happen with an airplane diving under its own line of fire. Finally, if you think you knew the answer, why did you post the question? |
