A rifle is fired and you are able to measure both the muzzle velocity of the bullet as well as the recoil velocity of rifle how do you explain the fact that the forward velocity of the bullet is great?
The forward velocity of the bullet is greater than the recoil velocity of the rifle because of Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the bullet is fired forward with high velocity, the rifle experiences a recoil in the opposite direction but with lower velocity due to the mass difference between the bullet and the rifle.
