This will vary depending on the cartridge fired, and the weight of the rifle. With a heavy target rifle in caliber 22 LR, it will be barely noticeable. With a light hunting rifle in 30-06 caliber, it can be enough force to be painful. With VERY powerful cartridges, such as the .577 T-Rex, recoil may be enough to knock you down.

Recoil is the REACTION to the ACTION of accelerating a bullet down the barrel. The weight and speed of the bullet generate the recoil (heavier, faster bullets = more recoil) , modified by the weight of the rifle- heavier= less recoil.

Backward kick of a rifle that is fired is an example of which force?

The "kick" of a rifle- properly called recoil- is an example of REACTION- to the ACTION of the bullet being fired. "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The bullet going one way results in the gun being pushed the other way.

No, .30-30s do not have a lot of kick, however, recoil (kick) being "bad" or not is largely a personal issue. For some folks, even the diminutive .223 has a lot of recoil, while others have no problem with the recoil from a .378. It also depends on the design of the rifle.
