Momentum is the product of velocity and mass.
The truck has a very large mass while the bullet has very high velocity. And since momentum increases with mass and with velocity, both objects can have large momentum.
Newton's laws of Motion state that Momentum is a product of Mass times velocity. Momentum = Mass x velocity. Therefore, a loaded truck needs a larger force to move it, and once it's moving, it needs more powerful brakes to stop it. So a fully loaded truck will have more momentum and be harder to stop than an empty truck.
Bullets fired from a rifled firearm should NOT tumble in flight. If they do so, it is a sign of problems. This may be caused by different matters that all relate to the rifling in the firearm, and the bullet. First is rifling is badly worn, if the bore is oversized for the bullet, or if rifling is badly fouled with lead/ jacketing metal/powder deposits, the bullet will not be gripped by the rifling and spun, and may not be stable in flight (tumbling) Try cleaning the bore properly, and check for excessive wear at the muzzle. The second condition is the wrong weight/length of bullet for the rate of twist of the rifling. A fast rate of twist, combined with a very fast bullet, MAY result in the bullet "stripping", and not being spun by the rifling. Or a very heavy, slow bullet may not be spun fast enough to stabilize the bullet. Most .22 rimfire rifles are rifled to shoot 40 grain bullets accurately. If loaded with a 60 grain bullet, such as the Aguilla 60 gr SSS, the bullet will not be stabilized, and may tumble in flight.
A 9mm Parabellum cartridge loaded with a standard bullet and only a primer will normally not be able to drive the bullet out of the barrel. It will usually lodge in the barrel (this is known as a squib load). If a second normal cartridge is fired behind this, it stands a very good chance of blowing up the gun.
First, lets go over what happens when a bullet is fired from a firearm. 1) A cartridge (a bullet pressed into a metalic cartidge which contains smokeless gunpowder and a primer) is loaded into the firing chamber of the firearm. 2) When the trigger is pulled, a hammer hits a firing pin which impacts the primer on the cartridge. 3) The primer ignites the smokeless gunpowder in the cartridge which produces a high pressure explosion. 4) This explosion forces the bullet down the barrel of the firearm and toward the target. The barrel of most firearms contains groves which help stabilize the bullet in flight by imparting a spin. These groves leave marks on the bullet itself which can be compared with other bullets fired from the same firearm. In addition, the firing pin on the firearm leaves a "dimple" on the spent primer of the metallic cartridge. This can also be measured and compared to other cartridges from the same firearm.
Inertia... In common usage, the term "inertia" may refer to an object's "amount of resistance to change in velocity" (which is quantified by its mass), or sometimes to its momentum, depending on the context. (Look it up on Wikipedia)
Exactly the same as whatever it was before firing. If the loaded gun was not movingbefore the trigger was pulled, then the total momentum of the gun and bullet afterfiring add up to zero.
Newton's laws of Motion state that Momentum is a product of Mass times velocity. Momentum = Mass x velocity. Therefore, a loaded truck needs a larger force to move it, and once it's moving, it needs more powerful brakes to stop it. So a fully loaded truck will have more momentum and be harder to stop than an empty truck.
The one that is loaded but never fired.
What you are describing could be a rifle that is not loaded, partially loaded or fully loaded, but, does not have a round chambered.
The bullet used in the 7.62 x 38 CARTRIDGE can be of different weights. The standard bullet loaded for the SKS and AK47 is about 123 grains.
The 9mm round in loaded with a bullet diameter of .356"in.
If you mean a CARTRIDGE (a loaded round of ammunition) do not try it. Very unsafe. If you mean a BULLET (the projectile that is fired out of the barrel) soap and water.
Because that was the way it was loaded into the gun, shot charge, bullet charge, shot charge, bullet charge. If you load it that way, it will shoot that way.
The term you are looking for is probably an ammunition magazine. If a loaded magazine struck by a bullet, it usually get bent, or has a hole knocked in it. If a bullet hits a loaded cartridge IN the magazine, it will usually dent the cartridge, or tear it open. ONLY if the bullet were to strike the primer directly would there be a BANG- and that would be the bullet popping out of it's cartridge case. However, the bullet would have little power, and only travel a few feet- it is not confined in a barrel. Not quite what they show in the movies- sorry,
You can shoot any weight bullet through the rifle that is loaded for that caliber. Generally, you choose the weight bullet appropriate to the game you are shooting. The heavier the bullet, the better penetration you will get for heavier game.
Yes- it is called a SABOT ( pronounced say-bow). It permits a .22 caliber bullet (not cartridge, BULLET) to be loaded into a .308 cartridge casing.
One where the powder and bullet (or shot) is loaded into the gun from the front end (muzzle) of the barrel.
