Which has more momentum a gun or the bullet it fires?
If the gun is stationary before the shot, then the momentum of the gun and the momentum of the bullet are equal and opposite after the shot.
What has more momentum a mouse running at 1 minute per second north or an elephant walking at 3 minute per second east?
raaa
Which has more momentum a train at rest or a bullet fired from a gun?
A bullet fired from a gun
Which has more momentum a mouse running at 1 meters per second north or an elephant walking at 3 meters per second east?
The elephant would have more momentum because of it has a greater mass and is going faster. The direction really doesn't matter
What is the function of the rifle in shooting an elephant?
Basically, a rifle is a place to direct the explosion of gunpowder directly to the bullet to increase the efficiency of gunpowder so the bullet can travel faster, and increase the bullet's momentum so it does more damage. The rifle also is used to increase the accuracy of the bullet. By focusing the blast directly behind the bullet, the bullet is more likely to travel in the intended direction. Striations in the rifle also spin the bullet so it corkscrews forward, making the path of the bullet straighter.
Does a tiny bullet have more momentum than a huge truck?
It depends on how fast each is going and how much each weighs. Momentum is calculated by multiplying the mass of an object by its speed. A tiny bullet moving very fast can have more momentum than a huge truck if the truck is moving very slowly (or not at all). (bullet mass) X (bullet speed) > (truck mass) X (truck speed)
How can an elephant have the same momentum as a golfball?
this question has the theoritical answer but it is not yet practically done. according to the theortical answer """"""""yes! elephant have the same momentum as a golf ball<<<<<<<<< Actually, elephants can have the same momentum as a golf ball. the equation for momentum is m x v2. m is mass, v is speed, and the two represents "speed squared". If the golf ball has a huge speed, then yes, it can have the same momentum as the elephant.
Which has more momentum a mouse running at 1ms north or an elephant walkingat 3 ms east?
The elephant, because it has more mass and velocity, and the direction doesn't matter.
Why does a gunner feel a backward jerk when firing a gun?
This is conservation of momentum. You have the hot gases from the explosive charge along with the bullet moving out the barrel, away from the person. Momentum is mass times velocity. While the mass of the bullet and gases are small, the velocity is very high. So nothing was moving before the trigger was pulled, so net momentum is zero. After the trigger is pulled, the momentum is still net zero. Any momentum away from the gunner will have an equal momentum (the gun recoiling) toward him. Since the gun has much more mass than the bullet, the velocity is much less.
Which should be the best on knocking the bear down- a rubber bullet or a lead bullet with the same momentum explain?
If we consider the bullets of same size,then rubber bullet having less density will have higher velocity and higher kinetic energy than that of lead bullet.Thus rubber bullet can impart more energy.Hence this would be more effective.
What is an example of an object with a small mass that has a large momentum?
That would depend on what you consider "large".The size of an object's momentum = (its mass) x (its speed).So, more mass and more speed result in more momentum.
Which has more momentum a 250 kg dolphin swimming at 6 meters per second or a 450 kg manatee swimming at 2 meters per second?
momentum = mass * velocity dolphin: 50kg*10.4m/s = 520 kg (m/s) elephant: 6300 kg * .11 m/s = 693 kg (m/s) The elephant has more momentum because of its large mass, and will be harder to stop/ change its course.
