Really cool show on Wed...If you drop a bullet and fire a bullet at the same time...would they hit the ground at the same time? Turns out they proved it correct...you can't fool gravity.

Looking forward to seeing it, we have it on our PVR!

I love physics.

Wait a minute, I don't get it. Droping a bullet and shooting a bullet both straight down?

no if you shoot a gun from 3ft above horizontal, and you drop a bullet from 3ft high, they will both hit the ground at the same time. Only one has traveled a horizontal distance as well. But gravity is constant, 9.8m/s/2 yayyy

How did they take into account resistance from air?

no need to, the resistance is only in a horizontal aspect, they both cancel out in vertical

Ok.. that makes sense.. I got a C in physics because I couldn't remember the formulas. Which I still don't understand why I needed to remember. :?

 

Anytime I don't remember something at work, it takes about 10 seconds with Google and I'm good to go.
