I was watching a SciFi tv show where large objects had an outer speed limit of 18000 kph and that got me wondering what things in everyday life are faster than even 500 kph.
I know bullets can be fast, but they are not exactly everyday life (at least in my life).
I included mass for obvious relativistic reasons.
There are quite a few bullets capable of >4,000 feet per second (or 2,700 mph, or 1,220 m/s or 4,390 kph).
You could call them an everyday occurrence if you live in the US
That’s what kids learn in applied physics class
Gotta go being jingoist. Take your nonsense over to a political sub
Don’t know where you’re saying that. There were over 14,000 gun related deaths in the US in 2025. That’s more than 38/day and that’s not including non-fatal shootings. January 1st saw over 90 deaths alone.
One of many reports. When you have that many, it very much is a “daily occurrence” in the US.
We’re a country of a third of a billion, so even as astronomically high as 19/day is, it by no means makes it an everyday occurrence for every single one of us.
