The wall will push back.

The wall will push back, in exactly the opposite direction, and with
exactly the same size force.

That's why the net force on the palm of your hand is zero, and that
in turn is the reason that your hand doesn't accelerate.

If you keep increasing the strength of your push, then eventually you
exceed the force that the wall is capable of delivering. Then the wall
crumbles and falls, your hand accelerates in the direction you're pushing,
and the crowd goes wild !

A gun shoots a bullet with a velocity of 500 m/s. The gun is aimed horizontally and fired from a height of 1.5 m. How far does t

The bullet travels a horizontal distance of 276.5 m

The bullet is shot forward with a horizontal velocity $u_x$ . It takes a time t to fall a vertical distance y and at the same time travels a horizontal distance x.

The bullet's horizontal velocity remains constant since no force acts on the bullet in the horizontal direction.

The initial velocity of the bullet has no component in the vertical direction. As it falls through the vertical distance, it is accelerated due to the force of gravity.

Calculate the time taken for the bullet to fall through a vertical distance y using the equation,

$y=u_yt+\frac{1}{2} gt^2$
