Why does the bullet and gun have different acceleration?
The gun weighs MUCH more than the bullet.
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.
Which has more momentum a train at rest or a bullet fired from a gun?
A bullet fired from a gun
What does grain mean in gun terms?
A grain is a weight. Smaller than an ounce or a gram- its a tiny amount. When talking about guns, grains refers to how much gunpowder is in each bullet. A bullet with more grains of gunpowder has more bang to it than a bullet with less grains of gun powder.
Will the bullet tumble if you hold the gun sideways?
No. It will still fly straight.
Why is the speed of a recoiling gun less than the speed of the fired bullet?
Newton said "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The action is pushing the bullet in one direction. Reaction is the gun being pushed in the other. The energy is speed times mass. The gun masses much more than the bullet, and so will move proportionately slower than the bullet. Which is a very good thing- or the recoil of the gun would kill the shooter.
Can 50cal bullet cut someone in half?
It takes more than one shot, but if you have a Ma Deuce, hold down the triggers and sweep the gun from side to side, you can cut people in half with it.
How the velocity of recoil of a gun fire is 1'100 times the velocity of bullet if mass of a gun is 100 times of mass of bullet?
Newton said "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The action is pushing the bullet in one direction. Reaction is the gun being pushed in the other. The energy is speed times mass. The gun masses much more than the bullet, and so will move proportionately slower than the bullet. Which is a very good thing- or the recoil of the gun would kill the shooter.
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 bullet kills more people?
There are more people killed each year from a 22lr than any other gun!! There are more people killed each year from a 22lr than any other gun!!
Why does bullet moves further than gun?
Because the gun is being held.
How much gun powder is in a bullet?
It depends on the bullet. It can be as little as less than 1 grain, or as much as several grains or more, especially for larger calibers.
