What else can I help you with?
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 force exerted on the bullet and the recoil force against the rifleman, are equal to each other (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction). The bullet has a very small mass, and the rifle/rifleman possess a large mass, force is equal to one half mass times velocity squared, F=m/2*v^2. So velocity of the bullet is the square root of twice force divided by mass, small mass equals large velocity. Another way of looking at this problem is to invoke the law of the conservation of momentum: mass(bullet)*muzzle_velocity(bullet) = mass(rifle)*recoil_velocity(rifle). This is an approximation that neglects the momentum carried away the propellant (both spent and unburned) that exits the muzzle after the bullet.
When a rifle fires it accelerates a bullet along the barrel Explain why the rifle must recoil?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Now the bullet is light (low mass) so when a certain amount of force pushes the bullet forward and the gun backward at the same time, the bullet moves fast. The gun is heavy (great mass) so it is slower to accellerate rearward. It will never reach even a small fraction of the velocity of the bullet. But since force = mass times velocity squared, there is an equal amount of energy in the bullet and the butt stock of the rifle.
What do you do when a teacher gets fired?
If a teacher gets fired and you did not like that teacher do not cheer just keep it to yourself. If you liked that teacher then if your brave enough go ask the principal why the teacher got fired. If you have a picture of that teacher look at it and if you cannot do that remember all the good times you and that teacher had and get on with your life.
Who invented the hypodermic needle media theory?
The hypodermic needle media theory, also known as the magic bullet or bullet theory, was developed in the 1920s and 1930s by researchers such as Harold Lasswell and Paul Lazarsfeld. The theory suggests that media messages are directly and uniformly injected into the minds of passive audiences, shaping their attitudes and behaviors.
Is the FR-8 Mauser recommended?
The FR-8 Mauser is a reliable and accurate rifle that was used by the Spanish military. It is a good option for collectors or those interested in historical firearms. However, for practical use or hunting purposes, there may be more modern and versatile rifle options available.
When a bullet is fired from a rifle does the bullet have a greater momentum and kinetic energy than the rifle?
Yes, when a bullet is fired from a rifle, the bullet typically has greater momentum and kinetic energy compared to the rifle. This is due to the bullet's higher velocity and lower mass compared to the rifle.
Does the bullet fired from a recoiling rifle have a greater velocity compared to the keyword?
Yes, the bullet fired from a recoiling rifle typically has a greater velocity compared to the rifle itself.
Which is greater the momentum of a bullet fired from a rifle or the momentum of the rifle's recoil?
The momentum of the bullet fired from a rifle is greater than the momentum of the rifle's recoil. This is because the bullet has a higher velocity and mass compared to the rifle, resulting in a greater momentum.
A bullet is fired from a rifle?
um...yes...isn't that obvious?
When a rifle is fired how does the size of the force of the rifle on the bullet compare with the force of the bullet on the rifle how does the acceleration of the rifle compare with that of the bullet?
The force of the rifle on the bullet and the force of the bullet on the rifle are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, according to Newton's third law of motion. However, the mass of the rifle is much larger than the mass of the bullet, so the acceleration of the rifle is much smaller compared to the acceleration of the bullet.
When a bullet is fired from a riffle?
Not quite a question yet. If you are asking about the physics, when a rifle fires a bullet, the ACTION of the bullet being pushed out of the barrel is equaled by the REACTION- or recoil, of the rifle pushing to the rear.
What is the velocity of 303 rifle bullet?
2441 feet per second when fired from the British SMLE rifle. Velocity will vary when fired from rifles with a longer or shorter barrel.
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?
No, this statement is not true. When a rifle is fired horizontally, the bullet immediately begins to drop due to gravity as soon as it leaves the barrel. The rate of drop will depend on the muzzle velocity of the bullet and the distance it has traveled.
Why does a rifle give backward kick on firing a bullet?
A rifle experiences backward kick, or recoil, when a bullet is fired due to Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the bullet is propelled forward out of the barrel, the rifle experiences an equal force pushing backward. This recoil results from the rapid expulsion of gas and the mass of the bullet moving forward, leading to the rifle moving backward in response. The amount of recoil is influenced by the bullet's mass and the velocity at which it is fired.
Could a bullet be fired from one rifle down the barrle of another?
It has happened. During the American Civil War, a Union rifleman fired his rifle, and the projectile collided with the projectile fired by a Confederate rifleman - in the barrel of the Confederate's rifle. IIRC, that rifle was displayed in the Museum of American History.
How Did the Red Baron died?
He was shot down by a bullet in his heart, apparently fired by a rifle on the ground.
What is the largest bullet type?
BULLET is the term used for the projectile fired from a cartridge. The largest civilian rifle cartridge is the .950 JD Jones.
