It's also how American football quarterbacks reduce air drag on their passes, by spinning the ball along its longitudinal axis, exactly analogous to the fired bullet.<a href="http://shootingtargets7.com/rifle-targets/" rel="nofollow">ShootingTargets7</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00181753070857437581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5638300827372767452.post-50118889216715854212012-08-06T07:59:51.747-04:002012-08-06T07:59:51.747-04:00The bullet loses its linear and angular momenta af...The bullet loses its linear and angular momenta after hitting the target and embedding itself into what lies behind the target. The bullet does not, however, lose its angular momenta "suddenly" after being shot -- if that is what your comment implies. Also, "before we shoot it," the bullet has essentially no linear momentum (with respect to the target's frame) because its speed is essentially zero and no angular momentum (with respect to its longitudinal axis) because its angular speed is zero. The bullet, therefore, "stores" no momenta before we shot it.<br /><br />If I have misunderstood your comment, please let me know.John Eric Goffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16055443328349993690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5638300827372767452.post-6202156746690706452012-08-06T05:46:42.701-04:002012-08-06T05:46:42.701-04:00The concept of conservation of momentum works when...The concept of conservation of momentum works when we shoot something with a bullet.The bullet stores momentum before we shoot it then suddenly it looses its all momentum.<br /><a href="http://physics.tutorvista.com/momentum/conservation-of-angular-momentum.html" rel="nofollow">Conservation of Angular Momentum</a>manoj singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10102524746091243493noreply@blogger.com
