When a bullet leaves a gun the bullet has what type of energy?
The bullet has a great deal of kinetic energy, because of its high speed. It also has a little bit of potential energy relative to the ground, because of its height above the ground.
A 60 gram bullet is fired from a gun with 3150 joule of kinetic energy what is its velocity?
A 60 gram bullet fired from a gun with 3150 joules of kinetic energy has a velocity of 324.04 meters per second or 1,063.12 feet per second. (This is about 725mph).
Which has more momentum a train at rest or a bullet fired from a gun?
A bullet fired from a gun
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.
What is the function of the metal casing and tip?
I presume you mean for a bullet? The casing allows the bullet to grip the internal rifling of the barrel without shearing the soft lead of the bullet. The tip helps the bullet expand upon impact allowing all the energy of the moving bullet to be passed on to the thing you have pointed the gun at.

Can a bullet exit a gun before you hear the blast?
Yes, it is will happen that way. The sound of the blast is caused by the release of gasses at the muzzle of the gun. Those gasses are trapped behind the bullet- pushing it- and are not released until the bullet leaves the gun.
Which has more energy the bullet or the recoiling gun?
Although their linear momenta are equal, their potential, kinetic, and heat energies are different. The gun has more heat. Regarding potential energy, it can vary. But if the shot is anywhere near horizontal and the shooter doesn't drop the gun, then the recoiling gun has more gravitational potential energy at any time after the shot. The fired bullet has more kinetic energy.
Why does the bullet goes very very far away but the gun has jerk?
According to the law of action and reaction, the bullet and the gun absorb the same amount of energy, just in inverse diretions. But the bullet is much lighter and thus will go much faster.

What type of energy store is stored in a gun bullet?
While it is moving, it has kinetic energy. Before it is shot, it has chemical energy - that's what causes the explosion.
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.
What are the release dates for Man Without a Gun - 1957 The Last Bullet 1-34?
Man Without a Gun - 1957 The Last Bullet 1-34 was released on: USA: 29 May 1958
Why does the bullet and gun have different acceleration?
The gun weighs MUCH more than the bullet.

A bullet fired from a gun

Why does a bullet ricochet sometimes when you shoot on a metal object with a gun and not always?
Lots of factors need to be taken into account: * What angle does the bullet strike the object? * What is the mass of the object? If small it will move and absorb the energy. * What is the bullet made of? Does the deformation absorb the energy? * Is the object firmly fixed or movable? * How fast is the bullet moving?
