HERE'S WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU FIRED A GUN IN SPACE & THE BULLET WOULD FLY OFF INTO SPACE INDEFINITELY & THE SHOOTER WILL ALSO BE 'SHOT' INTO SPACE

 


HERE'S WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU FIRED A GUN IN SPACE

For the better part of 70 years, governments and, more recently, private businesses and individuals have been sending things and people into space. However, we have only barely begun to decipher the mysteries that lie up there.


The astronauts have spent their time on space missions conducting scientific experiments when they were not engaged in commercial or military tasks like deploying or repairing satellites or conducting ground surveillance. The vast majority of scientific experiments carried out in space have dealt with space itself, such as how microgravity affects various life forms or how it affects astronauts or spacecraft. Very few of the experiments carried out there have been intended to satisfy scientific curiosity about a fictitious and insignificant subject, like what would happen if you fired a gun in space. 


In fact, you don't have to. Everything we need to know about guns, physics, and space can be found in what we already know.


You may recall from your science class in elementary school that a fire requires three things in order to function: heat, air, and fuel. According to Live Science, a gun functions by harvesting the power of fire by producing an explosion that propels the bullet out of the chamber. However, a crucial component of the equation is missing because space lacks air


THE BULLET WOULD FLY OFF INTO SPACE INDEFINITELY

That is not an issue, in any case, as current ammo contains its own oxidizer, a synthetic that permits burning to occur without any air. The gun and bullet work just as well in space as they do on the ground because the bullet contains everything you need. 


Naturally, there would be some minor differences. Due to the lack of air in space to carry sound waves, you wouldn't be able to hear the explosion unless you fired it from inside a spacecraft, which would be a terrible idea. The smoke would also expand in a sphere from the barrel's tip, rather than leaving a hazy trail like in the movies. On the ground, gravity and erosion will imply that the projectile would be able to and will just fly up to this point. Gravity and friction still play a role in space, but their effects are completely different, which would become especially clear if you fired a gun high up in the atmosphere. 


According to Harvard astronomer M-A T-I J-A C U K, the bullet is likely to travel through space after it is fired until the universe dies from heat. C U K remarked, "The universe is expanding at a rate faster than the bullet can catch up with any significant mass to slow it down". The bullet will never stop


THE SHOOTER WILL ALSO BE 'SHOT' INTO SPACE

Naturally, this assumes that the bullet will not be brought back "down" by the gravity of a star or planet. However, given that actual mass-bearing objects like stars and planets occupy such a small portion of the universe in comparison to the vast expanse of space, the likelihood of that occurring is extremely low. 


If you've ever fired a gun in real life, you probably already know that the action causes a "kick" that you have to prepare for and anticipate in order to keep your balance. Holding the gun incorrectly can result in a kick that could hurt the shooter, obstruct the gun's aim, and put bystanders in danger. One of the fundamental laws of physics that led to the kick is Newton's Third Regulation, which expresses that for each activity, there is an equivalent and inverse response, as Live Science makes sense of. 


Since there is no friction or gravity in space, the bullet will travel in one direction and the shooter in the other. According to this Business Insider video on YouTube, the velocity and weight of the shooter and bullet determine how quickly the bullet and shooter will travel in opposite directions. According to the video, firing an AK-47 sends the shooter backwards at 068 miles per hour, whereas firing a smaller handgun with a slower-moving, but heavier bullet sends the shooter in the opposite direction at approximately twice that speed

What Is Difference Between Chia Seeds And Flaxseed

Image
  Certain seeds have gained a reputation as superfoods in recent years. Examples include the well-known chia and flax seeds. Both have been linked to health benefits such as a healthier heart, lower blood sugar levels, and protection against certain types of cancer. However, many people wonder which of the two seeds is actually the healthiest. Both are extremely rich in nutrients. To answer this question, this article looks at the scientific evidence that supports each The Saliva Hispanic plant, more commonly referred to as the chia plant, is the source of the tiny oval-shaped chia seeds. Chia seeds are slightly larger and flatter than flax seeds. Flax seeds, on the other hand, have a slightly nuttier flavor than chia seeds. However, incorporating both kinds of seeds into a variety of dishes is simple Nutrition comparison Comparative analysis of the nutrients present in chia and flax seeds The major nutrients contained in a 1-ounce (28-gram) serving, or approximately 4 tablespoons,...

Overconsumption of Common Red Food Dye May Lead to Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Image
  Allure Red AC, a synthetic dye found in popular foods like Skittles, Doritos, Gatorade, Jell-O, and Fruit Loops, has been linked to an increased risk of developing inflammatory bowel diseases (I-B D S) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis if consumed frequently. The dye, also known as FD & C Red 40 and Food Red 17, is thought to have negative effects on gut health and increase inflammation, according to a small study done on laboratory mice. The study, which was recently published in Nature Communications, found that the additive directly breaks the gut barrier, which helps keep bacteria from getting in, and that it also makes more serotonin, a hormone and neurotransmitter in the gut. According to the report, this reaction alters the microbiome of the gut, making people more likely to develop inflammatory bowel conditions. What we have found is striking and alarming, as this common synthetic food dye may be a dietary trigger for I-B D S, said senior author W-A L-I U...

Border violence displaces 76,000 in Lebanon: Hezbollah

 The International Organization for Migration (IOM) of the United Nations reported on Friday that nearly three months of nearly daily fighting along the border with Israel had resulted in the displacement of more than 76,000 people in Lebanon. The boundary region has seen a flood of viciousness since early October, with blow for blow trades of fire forging ahead with Friday between Israeli powers and Hezbollah. In a report distributed on Thursday, the IOM said that the heightening had uprooted 76,018 individuals, predominantly in areas of southern Lebanon lining Israel. More than 80% of the dislodged Lebanese are remaining with family members, as per the report, and just two percent housed in 14 aggregate sanctuaries spread across the south of the country, predominantly in the seaside city of Tire and in the Hasbaya locale. The remainder, according to the UN agency, have relocated to homes or apartments further from the border. Cross-line brutality has left 175 individuals dead in ...
