Both objects accelerate, however due to Newton's 2nd law the acceleration of the rifle is less due to it's higher mass.
Newton's second law F = ma
In your question the force (F) would be the same on both objects, but the mass (m) would be different and give a different answer for acceleration (a). This difference can be seen by looking at the effect of being on opposite sides of the rifle (ie kickback vs bullet hole)
The force of the rifle on the bullet and the force of the bullet on the rifle are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, according to Newton's third law of motion. However, the mass of the rifle is much larger than the mass of the bullet, so the acceleration of the rifle is much smaller compared to the acceleration of the bullet.
The acceleration of the bullet is greater than the acceleration of the rifle because the bullet has a much smaller mass. Newton's second law, F=ma, states that the acceleration is inversely proportional to mass given the same force, so the smaller mass of the bullet results in a greater acceleration for the same force applied.
The force of the rifle returning back after firing a bullet is smaller than the force on the bullet because the rifle has a larger mass compared to the bullet. According to Newton's third law, force is equal to mass times acceleration, so the force exerted on the rifle is smaller due to the larger mass and slower acceleration compared to the bullet.
Yes, when a bullet is fired from a rifle, the bullet typically has greater momentum and kinetic energy compared to the rifle. This is due to the bullet's higher velocity and lower mass compared to the rifle.
Using Newton's second law (F=ma), the acceleration of the bullet can be calculated by dividing the force by the mass of the bullet. First, convert the mass of the bullet to kg (7.0g = 0.007kg), then divide the force (2.1N) by the mass (0.007kg) to find the acceleration. The acceleration of the bullet would be 300 m/s^2.

Rifle and bullet (The bullet is dependent on the rifle to accomplish its purpose)
Using Newton's second law (F=ma), the acceleration of the bullet can be calculated by dividing the force by the mass of the bullet. First, convert the mass of the bullet to kg (7.0g = 0.007kg), then divide the force (2.1N) by the mass (0.007kg) to find the acceleration. The acceleration of the bullet would be 300 m/s^2.
No. The L1A1 Self Loading rifle in in caliber 7.62 x51 mm (7.62 NATO) fires a rimless cartridge with a .308 bullet. The .303 Enfield cartridge is a different shape, has a rim, and fires a .311 bullet. If you compare the two cartridges, totally different in shape.
The bullet fired from a gun has greater horizontal acceleration. For vertical acceleration, they are both the same.
The barrel guides and accelerates the bullet out of the rifle, and imparts spin to the bullet to stabilize the bullet in flight.
A bullet shot horizontally will experience a vertical acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s^2, which acts downward. However, since there is no vertical propulsion force acting on the bullet, the vertical motion is purely due to gravity.
To find the force, we first need to calculate the acceleration of the bullet using the formula v^2 = u^2 + 2as, where v is the final velocity (322 m/s), u is the initial velocity (0 m/s since the bullet starts from rest), a is the acceleration, and s is the displacement (0.78 m). Solving for acceleration gives us approximately 161,589 m/s^2. Then, we can use Newton's second law (F = ma) to find the force, where m is the mass of the bullet (5.0 g = 0.005 kg) and a is the acceleration. The force exerted on the bullet during its travel down the barrel is approximately 807 N.
There is no one answer- it depends on the rifle. They are generally less powerful than a full size battle rifle cartridge. The M16 rifle uses a 5.56mm bullet, the AK47 a 7.62mm bullet, etc.
