Newton's Law- for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the bullet is pushed forward out of the barrel, then the gun is pushed back by an equal amount. That is recoil, or "kick". The amount is based on the weight and speed of the bullet, and the weight of the gun. All things being equal, a light bullet kicks less than a heavy bullet, and a heavy gun kicks less than a lighweight gun.

What is the plural of recoil?
The plural of recoil is recoils. As in "the gun recoils quite heavily".
When a bullet is fired the gun recoils?
Yes.
Why does a gun recoll when it is fired?
A gun recoils when fired due to the need to eject the casing and to recycle the pent up gas
What part of the gun ejects gun shells?
There is a part almost all guns called the extractor that, like its name implies, extracts the shell when the bolt of the gun recoils back.
What has the greater force the gun or the bullet?
They are exactly equal. The bullet travels faster, and weighs less. The gun recoils more slowly, but weighs much more.
What are the example of newtons law of motion?
A gun recoils when bullet is fired off the gun.A swimmer pushes the water when he moves forward.
What are the examples of newton's third law of motion?
A gun recoils when bullet is fired off the gun.A swimmer pushes the water when he moves forward.
What part of a gun is the tang?
It is part of the receiver. The tang is where the highest point of your grip should be placed. It is a curved portion of the grip that's closest to the slide. This acts as a "pivot" point when the gun recoils.
Why does the gun recoils and puch the person back when fired?
When a gun is fired a bullet (or cartridge) with a small mass but a very high velocity is ejected. The recoil of the gun is a reaction to this force and is sufficient to push back the person who fired the weapon.
What is recoil velocity?
When a gun is fired, the projectile goes one way, the gun goes in the opposite direction. That is recoil. Recoil velocity would be the speed at which the gun moves when it recoils. Since the gun is heavier than the projectile, it will recoil more slowly than the projectile moves.
Which wave is formed when a bullet fired from a gun?
=it is newtons third law of motion which states=="for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"==when a gun is fired the bullet moves in the forward direction which is action whereas the gun recoils in the backward direction which is the reaction......................=
How are Newton's laws applied when a bullet is fired from a gun which recoils?
The law that says every action has an equal and oppsite reaction: the momentum of the bullet is balanced by the equal momentum of the gun (and shooter) in the opposite direction - the recoil.
