When a rifle fires it accelerates a bullet along the barrel Explain why the rifle must recoil?

When the rifle fires, it propels the bullet forward with force based on Newton's Third Law of Motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The force pushing the bullet forward causes an equal force in the opposite direction, which results in the rifle recoiling backward.


When a bullet is fired from a rifle does the bullet have a greater momentum and kinetic energy than the rifle?

The momenta of the rifle and the bullet are equal and opposite. The bullet has greater kinetic energy than the rifle.


What is an analogy that goes with bow and arrow?

Rifle and bullet (The bullet is dependent on the rifle to accomplish its purpose)


A rifle is fired and you are able to measure both the muzzle velocity of the bullet as well as the recoil velocity of rifle how do you explain the fact that the forward velocity of the bullet is great?

The forward velocity of the bullet is greater than the recoil velocity of the rifle because of Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the bullet is fired forward with high velocity, the rifle experiences a recoil in the opposite direction but with lower velocity due to the mass difference between the bullet and the rifle.


When a 5.0 g bullet leaves the muzzle of a rifle with a speed of 322 ms What force assumed constant is exerted on the bullet while it is traveling down the 0.78 m long barrel of the rifle?

Friction for one.


What does a barrel assembly do on a rifle?

The barrel guides and accelerates the bullet out of the rifle, and imparts spin to the bullet to stabilize the bullet in flight.

Does a rifle need bullets or gun powder?

All firearms need: A projectile such as a bullet, gun powder to propel the bullet out of the barrel of the gun, and a cartridge to hold them together. Gun powder only explodes and the force from the explosion propels the bullet out of the barrel, basically. The cartridge is disposed of thereafter. A bullet will not move unless the gunpowder behind it explodes. This is the basic operation of a firearm/rifle.


What does a .22 rifle look like?
