Does a bullet to the brain kill instantly?

Depends on many factors: caliber of bullet, velocity, direction, etc.... Generally, if a bullet damages both left & right hemispheres of the brain, the outcome will be fatal, but not necessarily immediate. Consciousness is often lost immediately. If a bullet travels front to back, or back to front and only damages one side of the brain, the undamaged side CAN compensate and the victim can recover to various degrees. Of course, large caliber bullets and shotgun damage to the head generally don't leave much chance for recovery. If anything, these types of weapons kill instantly, more or less.

How you get shocked by electricity?

You get shocked by electricity usually from buildup of static electricity. For example just walking on carpet and touching a doorknob may shock you, but something like that won't kill you. Others ways you can get shocked is from having wet hands and touching electrical wiring, usually appliance plug ins, which has the potential to kill you depending on different circumstances. Another way you can get shocked is if you have a heart attack or your heart stops. To restart your heart, they can use something called a defibrillator shock you and get your heart working again. The last and most dangerous way to get shocked is getting struck by lightning, which most of the time will kill you if you are not insulated.

What kills people by falling objects?

It depends on what the falling object is... if its a sharp object, it could puncture the brain or heart or other major organ and kill you instantly or pretty close to instantly. If it hits you anywhere else, you could die by bleeding to death. If its a large blunt object that crushes you, it most likely crushes your brain or heart where you die instantly. If not, you are pinned down where you can't get food or water and you die of starvation or thirst.
