How much energy would it take to launch a single 9mm bullet into a space tesla intercept trajectory?

[Anonymous No.9505350]

It would take thousands and thousands of energy.

[Anonymous No.9505360]

Simple. The dot product of pi times density over two and the lacrossian of its trajectory

To throw something into a minimum-energy trajectory to Mars (starting from the surface of the Earth) takes about 12 km/sec. Add another 1 km/sec to account for air resistance.

For each kilo of mass then, 0.5 * 13000^2 joules.
I don't know the mass of a 9mm bullet.

Kinetic energy and the energy robbed by air resistance both scale as the square of projectile velocity. You have to drop the drag ratio through the floor or increase the sectional density to punch through the atmosphere with a projectile. So, while a 9mm bullet would not make it, a 7 ft tall stack of bullets would.

you cant just launch it in a straight line towards the car, that would imply launching it so fast the air friction would incinerate the bullet to a crisp. you should put it in orbit then set it on an intersection course. best way would be to carry the bullet to the ISS along a small ion thruster propulsion unit and just send it from there.

You need to calculate orbit and trajectory to hit object, there is no "intercepting" with rotations like this.

I would choose something technologically more advanced than this.
