Which of the following is a factor that affects a bullet's path after leaving the barrel?

  1. Moon phase

  2. Gun color

  3. Gravity

  4. Noise

The correct answer is: Gravity

Possible explanation Gravity is a fundamental force that affects all objects on Earth, including bullets. As the bullet leaves the barrel of the gun, it is immediately pulled downwards by the force of gravity. This means that the trajectory of the bullet will be affected, causing it to drop as it travels towards its target. The other options listed are not factors that directly affect the bullet's path. While moon phase and gun color may have personal or environmental significance, they do not have a physical impact on the bullet's trajectory. Noise may affect the shooter's aim and accuracy, but it does not affect the ongoing path of the bullet after it has left the barrel.
