Which has more momentum a train at rest or a bullet fired from a gun?
A bullet fired from a gun
A bullet is fired from a gun. The speed of the bullet will be about the same as the speed of the recoiling gun if the mass of the bullet equals the mass of the gun?
The mass of a bullet is nowhere near the mass of a gun. A bullet weighs at most a few hundred grains. Most guns weigh at least a couple of pounds, some weigh several pounds (talking about handguns and rifles).
A 5 g bullet is fired from a 5000g gun If the bullet leaves the gun going 800MS with what speed does the gun recoil?
Speed of recoil of the gun = change in momentum/mass of the bullet = 5 x 10-3 x 800/5 msec-1 = 0.8 msec-1
Can you trace a bullet back to its gun?
Sometimes you can.
Average bullet speedhow fast is a 338 bullet?
It all depends on the weight and the charge behind the round and even the gun fired in can make a difference, you can buy subsonice rounds and high speed bullets but really anything from 1400 fps +
Why does a gun not recoil just as fast as the speed of the bullet?
because the recoil is when the bullet forces the gun back and so the bullet creates the recoil and so it can't make it go just as fast
