Math matters
Odds and ends
100
The projectile fired from a firearm, not the whole cartridge.
What is the definition of bullet?
100
The vertical adjustment of the sight to move the trajectory of the bullet to the desired point of impact.
What is elevation?
100
The capacity to do work and transfer force.
What is energy?
100
The quantity of matter in an object, in simple terms the weight of an object. Actually equal to the weight divided by the acceleration due to gravity.
What is mass?
100
The width of a circle.
What is diameter?
200
The location of the bullet above or below the line of sight?
What is a bullet path?
200
The path of the bullet in flight.
What is trajectory?
200
The energy of a bullet in flight. Numerically equal to half the mass of the bullet multiplied by the velocity squared.
What is kinetic energy?
200
Fundamental unit of distance in the metric system. Equal to 39.37 inches.
What is meter?
200
The retarding force on a bullet caused by air resistance.
What is drag?
300
The tendency of a bullet tomaintain a stable attitude in flight rather than tumbling. It is determined by the spin produced by the rifling, the mass and the aerodynamics of the bullet.
What is bullet stability?
300
The point in the trajectory halfway between the muzzle and the point of aim.
What is mid-range trajectory?
300
The foot pounds of kinetic energy a bullet has at the muzzle of a firearm.
What is muzzle energy?
300
Unit of measurement equal to 1/60 of a degree. Usually approximated as 1" per 100 yards, actually 1.047 per 100 yards.
What is minute of angle (MOA)?
300
A complete unit of ammunition consisting of case, poweder, primer, and bullet.
What is the definition of cartridge?
400
The distance a bullet falls due to the force of gravity, measured or calculated from the line of departure.
What is bullet drop?
400
The highest point on the trajectory of a bullet's flight.
What is height of trajectory?
400
The set of atmospheric conditions, at a single altitude, used in ballistic calculations. (Sea Level Temperature = 59 degrees F.; Barometric pressure = 29.5275 in Hg, relative humidity = 78%.)
What is "standard conditions"?
400
The diameter of a bullet, usually expressed in fractions of an inch or millimeters. Frequently used to describe to a particular cartridge.
What is the definition of caliber?
500
An object in motion. In our case, a bullet in flight.
What is a projectile?
500
The kinetic energy generated in the firearm by the acceleration of the bullet. A Measure of how hard a gun "kicks."
What is recoil?
500
A number which represents a bullet's ability to overcome air resistance. These values are normally expressed in decimal form as .500 which really means that this bullet is half as efficient as the model bllet. For practical purposes, the higher the number, the more efficient the bullet.
What is ballistic coefficient (BC)?
500
The imprint of a bullet on a target indicating that the bullet was not travelling point on at impact.
What is the definition of keyhole?
