Re: [Phys-l] Killed by a Falling Bullet? - Myth busters.

I think that this misses the point. The bullet is "free falling" in the

pointed out earlier, the participle "falling" is subject to multiple
interpretations.

Hmmm... if by "free" one understands "impeded by air drag"
then I can certainly agree with Jack here.



Brian Whatcott Altus OK Eureka!
