When a bullet is fired from a rifle?
When a bullet is fired from a rifle, a chemical reaction in the gunpowder ignites, rapidly expanding gases build up pressure, and the bullet is propelled out of the barrel at high speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin, improving accuracy and stability. Gravity will eventually cause the bullet to drop due to gravity and air resistance.
When a bullet is fired from a rifle does the bullet have a greater momentum and kinetic energy than the rifle?
The momenta of the rifle and the bullet are equal and opposite. The bullet has greater kinetic energy than the rifle.
When a bullet is fired from a riffle?
Not quite a question yet. If you are asking about the physics, when a rifle fires a bullet, the ACTION of the bullet being pushed out of the barrel is equaled by the REACTION- or recoil, of the rifle pushing to the rear.
Which is greater the momentum of a bullet fired from a rifle or the momentum of the rifle's recoil?
Both are equal in magnitude but in opposite direction
What is the velocity of 303 rifle bullet?
2441 feet per second when fired from the British SMLE rifle. Velocity will vary when fired from rifles with a longer or shorter barrel.
Could a bullet be fired from one rifle down the barrle of another?
It has happened. During the American Civil War, a Union rifleman fired his rifle, and the projectile collided with the projectile fired by a Confederate rifleman - in the barrel of the Confederate's rifle. IIRC, that rifle was displayed in the Museum of American History.
When a rifle is fired horizontally the bullet leaves the barrel and doesnt drop at all for the first 35 meters of flight Is this true?
Depends on rifle, bullet, case design and powder charge.
How Did the Red Baron died?
He was shot down by a bullet in his heart, apparently fired by a rifle on the ground.
What is the largest bullet type?
BULLET is the term used for the projectile fired from a cartridge. The largest civilian rifle cartridge is the .950 JD Jones.
Does a bullet of the same caliber travel faster if fired through a rifle rather than a pistol?
a bullet of the same caliber and same grains of powder fired from a long barrel will have a higher muzzle velocity than if fired from a short barrel.
How far does a 303 caliber bullet projectile travel?
When fired from a .303 rifle, it can travel ABOUT 2.5 miles.
Who many Fps for a 233 caliber bullet?
Bullets alone have no velocity. The .223 CARTRIDGE, when fired from an M16 rifle, will drive its bullet at about 3,200 fps. However, velocity depends on the makeup of the cartridge (powder charge, bullet weight) , and which firearm it is fired from.
