A bullet dropped versus a bullet fired from a gun which has greater acceleration?
The bullet fired from a gun has greater horizontal acceleration. For vertical acceleration, they are both the same.
How does the acceleration of the compare with the acceleration of the rifle?
When a bullet is fired out of a gun, the bullet's acceleration and the gun's acceleration are equal in magnitude by opposite in direction. This is the cause of kickback from the gun. The reason why the gun doesn't rip your arm off though is because it's sheer size or mass, resulting in a much smaller impact on the object it collides with.
Does a bullet shot from a gun undergo any acceleration after it leaves the barrel?
No- or minimal at best. Acceleration of the bullet comes from gas expanding inside the barrel, pushing the bullet. Once it leaves the barrel, (or within a VERY short distance) gas is no longer pushing, and acceleration stops, and bullet begins to slow from air resistance.
Bullet flying through the air find the magnitude of acceleration?
Bullets fired from a gun don't accelerate, the decelerate from the moment they leave the barrel.
How much is the pressure as bullet comes out of a gun?
Depends on the gun. A .22 will have very different pressures from a 30-06.
Why does a gun jerk when you fire a bullet?
When a bullet is fired from a gun, it creates a sudden release of gases that exert a force on the gun's barrel and action system. This force, known as recoil, causes the gun to jerk backward in the opposite direction of the bullet's motion. The jerk is a result of Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Which has more momentum a train at rest or a bullet fired from a gun?
A bullet fired from a gun
How do you shoot a gun with a bullet?
Affix the gun to a target. Load the bullet into a cartridge. Load the cartridge into a second gun. Aim carefully, squeeze the trigger. If you have done everything right, you will have shot the gun with a bullet.
Why the gun leans backward when the bullet fire from the gun?
It's the recoil from the force of the bullet being fired. The gun powder pushes the bullet forward and also equally pushes the gun back into your hand.
What is the name of the song which has the lyrics like a bullet from a gun and is about racing cars?
Chastain - Bullet From A Gun
How fast does a bullet accelerate when it leaves a gun barrel?
A bullet does not accelerate after it leaves the barrel of a gun. It will decelerate. You could say it accelerates, but the acceleration would be negative. The bullet is accelerated by expanding gas as it moves down the barrel, and after it leaves the muzzle, there is no more acceleration imparted from expanding gas. We also find that air friction (drag) is acting to slow it down. Think this one through and it becomes obvious.
How does a bullet leave a gun?
A bullet leaves a gun barrel because it is forced out by the pressure of burning gasses.
