Let's say that an object is 3 inches thick, how dense would it have to be to stop a bullet traveling 680 mp/h?

He kinda was...ModusPwnd said:Not compressed at all. Our atmosphere can stop a bullet, it just takes a while. You need more information to answer this kind of thing. Do you want to stop it in a mile? In an inch? In a nanometer?

The bullet will decelerate but never quite stop. The profile and weight of the bullet will make a big difference. You must redefine “stop” and provide some idea of the distance that is available to decelerate the bullet to a “safe” speed.samsanof said:Really,what i mean is how compressed would air have to be to stop a bullet
