Why action and reaction and the case when Bullet is fired from the gun?

Why: Forces ALWAYS come in pairs - sometimes called action and reaction. Not just in the case of bullets.

When a rifle is fired horizontally the bullet leaves the barrel and doesnt drop at all for the first 35 meters of flight Is this true?
Depends on rifle, bullet, case design and powder charge.
How bullets work?
A bullet is the part of a cartridge that is fired from the gun. A cartridge consists of a cartridge case, primer, powder, and the bullet. The primer is struck by the firing pin, and explodes. In doing so, it ignites the gunpowder. Rapidly burning powder produces a rapidly expanding gas. This pushes the bullet out of the barrel.
Do centripetal and centrifugal force constitute action reaction pair explain?
No. "Action-reaction pair" implies that if an object "A" acts on object "B", then object "B" will also act on object "A". This isn't the case here.
How long will a bullet take to hit the ground if it is shot it perfectly straight and it's in an open field that is open forever?
Which gun.... of course it could be a toy gun which can barely even fire, in which case it will be like half a metre, or a .50 BMG (12.7 mm) McMillan bolt-action rifle with the longest kill of 2,430 metres (7,972 ft). All depends on power.. (I think he already quanitified the direction when he said 'straight'.... its called horizontal...
How does a bullet pierce the skin?
Like all laws of physics, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.In this case, the bullet has a motion propelled by kinetic energy and the skin is the opposing force or reaction.Since the bullet's force is greater than the skin;s resisting force, it pierces the skin, the point first curve sufficing the laceration to the skin, for the bullet to go through.
What are the forces of a machine gun?
Unsure of your question. There are several forces. When the gun is fired, one force- expanding gasses from the burning gunpowder, pushes the bullet forward out of the barrel. PART of that force is diverted to extract the fired cartridge case, and to load a fresh cartridge. The ACTION of driving the bullet forward is matched by a REACTION- the recoil or "kick" of the firearm being pushed back.
Is left behind and is not propelled when the gun as been fired?
the bullet case
How can you trace a criminal by a bullet?
When a bullet is fired from a rifled firearm, the rifling leaves marks on the bullet. Those marks are unique to that gun, and no other gun makes exactly the same marks. If a bullet (or fired cartridge casing) is recovered from a crime scene, and we suspect that YOUR gun was used to commit this crime, then a sample bullet is fired from your gun, and compared to the crime scene bullet. A comparison microscope is used to compare the bullets, or marks made on the fired cartridge case by the extractor and firing pin.
Will anything happen if you fire a bullet that has already been fired?
There are bullets (that is the projectile that gets shot out of the barrel) and cartridges (cartridge case, powder, primer, bullet) It may be possible to recover a fired bullet, load it into a cartridge case with a new primer and powder, and shoot it again- BUT bullets are generally rather soft, and likely to get bent up on impact. Once a CARTRIDGE has fired, it needs to have the old primer removed, new one installed, fresh charge of gunpowder put in place, and THEN load a bullet into the cartridge case.
Do gauss guns have recoil and how does recoil come about if the force that is launching the bullet is magnetism?
Yes, there would be some. Remember, for every action (in this case, the propulsion of the projectile) there is an equal and opposite reaction.
When a rifle is fired horizontally the bullet leaves the barrel and doesnt drop at all for the first 35 meters of flight Is this true?
Depends on rifle, bullet, case design and powder charge.
Ignoring air resistance a bullet fired horizontally has how many forces acting on it after leaving the rifle?
One. Only the bullet's weight. In this case, the bullet would not decelerate and will keep moving at muzzle velocity until it hits the ground.
How does one reload bullets?
ACTUALLY, you reload cartridges, not bullets. The fired cartridge case is cleaned, and the old primer removed with a punch type tool. A new primer is pressed into place, the case pushed through a sizing die that squeezes it back to original size (they expand a little when fired). A measured charge of gunpowder is poured into the case, and a bullet is pressed into the neck of the case. The case may be crimped against the bullet to hold it in place.
What are the grooves on a bullet?
Couple of different answers to your question. With a FIRED bullet, grooves that spiral around the bullet are ballistic markings- lines engraved by the rifling in the barrel. In the case of grooves that run around the bullet, and filled with a waxy substance, those are grease grooves that hold lubricant. A single groove with no filler is a cannelure- spot for the cartridge case to be crimped into to hold a bullet snugly before firing.
What is the name of case of bullet after fire a shot?
The same as it is before it's fired - a casing. Some refer to an empty casing as a "shell" or "shell casing".
Can a 9mm be fired from a 380 rated handgun?
NO!! Although the bullet diameter is the same, the case length is different and should not chamber in the 380 caliber handgun.
What newton law is being used in a rifle recoils when shot?
Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
