[QUOTE="Mountainsheep, post: 120919, member: 5875"] Brown Dog As a point of consideration I would like to offer another explanation to illustrate how a bullet with an initial greater velocity could decelerate at a greater ratio than a bullet launched at a slower speed. This example will adhere to Newton’s First Law of Motion and no credence is given for any memory of force. But, I do believe that Newton’s Second Law of Motion and the First Law of Molecular Adherence are also applicable to this situation and will indicate a significant Accumulation of Resistance. As the bullet travel forward it contacts atmospheric particles that apply a negative or resistant force to the bullet. These particles do not accelerate away from the bullet but remain in contact with its surface until other particles collide with them and push them along the sloped surface of the bullet until they reach a point at the apex of the sloped surface. Due to the extreme rate of Frequency of Collision, the frontal surface of the bullet should quickly become coated with a layer of atmospheric particles, thus increasing the overall mass and surface area of the bullet. A visual illustration of this would be driving a car into rain without using the wipers. As the car moves forward the droplets hit the windshield and are pushed upward along its surface by air until reaching the top and blowing away. If the rain is steady and you are driving at a significant speed, the windshield will soon become covered with a solid sheet of relatively slow moving water. Now if we apply the First Law of Molecular Adherence to the now coated surface of the bullet, a substantial percentage of subsequent atmospheric particles that make contact should bond, compress and add additional mass and area to the surface, thus creating conditions for greater resistance; the greater the speed of propulsion, the greater the volume of accumulation. In an effort to support my application of the First Law of Molecular Adherence, I’ll ask this question: Is the “trace” or “trail” that sometimes appears to follow a bullet in flight, nothing more than atmospheric particles compressed to a density that is capable of reflecting a visual amount of light? (I don’t know the answer, just guessing) Does this theory seem valid or I’m I way off base on this one? I’m not trying to debate but just offering additional ideas and testing a theory. Dave [/QUOTE]
