RE: Physics of the impossible: see around that corner!

in #stemng8 years ago

Am happy I have something to back up my argument with. Someone was intentionally arguing that it's possible to dodge a bullet. I know those tricks in movies can never work. Was too certain about it.

The muzzle velocities of guns range from 120 meters per second (m/s) to 1200 m/s. That is why you never really hear the bullet that kills you.

I love that line above. Am sure going to mention him to come and read this.

You can't dodge the bullet but IN THEORY you can dodge the trigger finger of the person firing it. In other words, you should already have dodged before the bullet left the gun.

@edumurphy, how about giving it a try in a gun range near you? Lol

I dey your back 😊

It's difficult to dodge a bullet, but a moving target is a hard one to hit. Just keep moving in a zigzag manner and you may truly dodge a bullet :)
Thank you.
