A bullet is fired from a gun. The speed of the bullet will be about the same as the speed of the recoiling gun if the mass of the bullet equals the mass of the gun?

The mass of a bullet is nowhere near the mass of a gun. A bullet weighs at most a few hundred grains. Most guns weigh at least a couple of pounds, some weigh several pounds (talking about handguns and rifles).


A rifle bullet mass 03 leaves the end of the rifle a a speed of 1200 ms If the rifle moves back at 4 ms What is the rifles mass?

By applying the conservation of momentum, we can calculate the mass of the rifle. The momentum of the bullet is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the momentum of the rifle. Given the mass of the bullet (0.03 kg), its velocity (1200 m/s), and the velocity of the rifle (-4 m/s), we can calculate the mass of the rifle to be approximately 1.2 kg.


Average bullet speed?

The average bullet speed can vary depending on the type of bullet and the firearm it is fired from. However, typical bullet speeds can range from about 800 feet per second (fps) to 3000 fps. High-powered rifles can have bullet speeds exceeding 3000 fps.


Whitch bullet flys the farthest?

The bullet that flies the farthest would typically be a smaller, lighter bullet with a higher velocity. Factors such as bullet weight, shape, velocity, and the firearm used can all affect the bullet's flight distance. Generally, bullets fired from rifles with longer barrels and higher muzzle velocities tend to travel farther.


What is the highest speed of a bullet?

The speed of a bullet can vary depending on the type of firearm used, but some bullets can travel at speeds exceeding 3000 feet per second (around 1000 meters per second). The fastest bullets are typically fired from high-powered rifles or military firearms.

What is the meaning of a rifles back lash?

The proper word is "recoil." The action of firing a bullet causes the rifles to recoil against the shooter's shoulder.

The Greener bullet was for muzzleloading rifles- although it COULD be used in a single shot, muzzleloading pistol. See the link below for a little information.


What does a 22 hornet bullet look like?

A .22 Hornet bullet is typically a small, slender cartridge with a bullet diameter of about 0.224 inches. The bullet itself is often pointed (spitzer) to improve aerodynamics and is usually seated in a brass casing that is around 1.403 inches long. The casing may have a distinctive tapered shape, and the overall appearance is compact, designed for high-velocity performance in rifles. The bullet is commonly used for varmint hunting due to its accuracy and relatively low recoil.


How rifles function without recoil?

Recoil is not necessary for a rifle to function. It is a by product of the mass of the projecticle being sent down the bore by expanding gases of burning gun powder.


How do semi automatic rifles work?

In some, the recoil of the cartridge firing operates the action. In others, a small part of the expanding hot gasses that push the bullet are tapped to operate the action. The rifle extracts the fired cartridge, cocks the hammer, and chambers a fresh cartridge.


What is grain in a bullet?

The weight of the bullet. They can range from 25 grain (Small rifles) to over 400 grain for big game.


Does 243 have a big kick?

No, it does not. In fact, many 243 Winchester rifles were specifically bought as a women's hunting rifle or for a young fellow first starting out due to the very minimal recoil or "kick" generated by the 100 or 117 grain bullet weight used for most hunting applications.
