When a gun is fired which experiences a greater force the gun or the bullet?
When a gun is fired, the bullet experiences a greater force than the gun. This is due to Newton's third law of motion, where for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. The force from the expanding gases propels the bullet forward with more force than the recoiling gun experiences.
Why recoil of heavy gun is not strong as light gun?
Recoil is the equal and opposite of the force driving the bullet. A heavier gun is a greater mass to be moved by that recoil.
A bullet dropped versus a bullet fired from a gun which has greater acceleration?
The bullet fired from a gun has greater horizontal acceleration. For vertical acceleration, they are both the same.
Is the force of a gun the same as the force of the bullet coming out the gun?
No, the force of the gun results from the explosion of the gunpowder, propelling the bullet forward. The force of the bullet is the result of the acceleration it receives from the gun's explosion, which propels it in the opposite direction.
What is an example of an action reaction forces?
The recoil of a bullet being fired from a gun is a good example, the action force is the gun pushing the bullet away from the gun and the reaction force is the bullet pushing back against the gun (recoil).
When a gun is firesit recoils why?
Because linear momentum is conserved. Before the shot, the momentum of (gun + bullet) is zero, so it has to be zero after the shot. The bullet gains forward momentum when fired, so the gun must gain reverse momentum in order to maintain the zero sum.
Why the gun leans backward when the bullet fire from the gun?
It's the recoil from the force of the bullet being fired. The gun powder pushes the bullet forward and also equally pushes the gun back into your hand.
How are Newton's laws applied when a bullet is fired from a gun which recoils?
When a bullet is fired from a gun, Newton's third law is applied as the bullet and the gun experience equal and opposite forces. The force pushing the bullet out of the gun is equal to the force pushing the gun backward, causing recoil. This relationship between the bullet and the gun follows the principle of momentum conservation.
How does the acceleration of the compare with the acceleration of the rifle?
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.
How is the force of gravitation counteracted by firing a gun?
It isn't.Gravity is always acting on the bullet, from the time it rests on the breech to the time it hits target, and every point in between.At the beginning of its motion, the bullet has velocity in a particular direction. Gravity accelerates the bullet 'downwards' and alters the velocity at each point in time and space. Eventually, the combination of the previous motion and the present velocity makes it strike a target, at which point forces in the target and bullet result in all motion ceasing, and these forces become balanced.
Why a bullet shot from a gun goes well inside a wooden block but a throw by hand does not?
The bullet out of the gun will be travelling a lot faster, and with a lot more force than the bullet thrown by hand.
Why does a gun jerk when you fire a bullet?
Newton's 3rd law: for every action there is an equal and opposite direction reaction. The force of the bullet under acceleration reacts against the gun and therefore the gun jerks against the person holding it.
