What exactly is terminal velocity for a bullet?
|
Depends entirely on it how heavy it is what size and shape it is and which way it is falling.
A heavy but narrow bullet falling pointy end first will have very little drag and so will achieve a higher terminal velocity than the same bullet falling backwards

Like a penny dropped from the Empire State building they accelerate to terminal velocity and that's it.

two identical pennies dropped from the empire state building can have very different terminal velocities....and that's it
