Third law: When a first body exerts a force F1 on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force F2 = −F1 on the first body. This means that F1 and F2 are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

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.


Why did Gwen Fontaine Newton leave Huey Newton?

Gwen Fontaine Newton left Huey Newton primarily due to the strain their tumultuous relationship placed on her well-being. Despite being deeply involved in the Black Panther Party, she faced emotional and physical abuse from Huey, which contributed to her decision to leave. Ultimately, she sought a healthier and more stable environment for herself.


How do you measure Nm?

Nm, or Newton-meters, can be measured using a torque wrench for fasteners or a torque sensor for other applications. The device will indicate the amount of force being applied in Newton-meters.


Why is newton such a big deal?

because hes the one who found out that. the earth and the planets where being held by craviti


Why does a gun not move backwards with the same speed the bullets move forward?

Guns do have varying degrees of "kick" when they are fired; the amount of kick depends on the weapon and the type of round being fired. In some cases the kick is substantial and training is needed to avoid injury to the shooter. But guns do have mass, so the gun's own inertia helps to dampen the kick. I think it's not only the bullets or their speed that need to be accounted for. In a sense, a gun is a special case of jet engine at the moment of firing, and all the gasses and particles ignited during the firing act like jet fuel propelling the gun backwards. By Newton's third law of motion, every force exerted by A on B is equally exerted by B on A. So the force that propels the bullet and gases forwards from the gun also propels the gun backwards. The gun does not accelerate to anything like the speed of the bullet because: * Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass, and the gun is much heavier than the bullet. * Your shoulder or hand works against the force from the explosion. Despite the fact that the gun exerts as much force against you as against the bullet, you are not injured. This is chiefy because your region of contact with the weapon is a much greater area than the wrong end of the bullet, distributing the force over a wide area.

Why is the speed of a recoiling gun less than the speed of the fired bullet?

Newton said "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The action is pushing the bullet in one direction. Reaction is the gun being pushed in the other. The energy is speed times mass. The gun masses much more than the bullet, and so will move proportionately slower than the bullet. Which is a very good thing- or the recoil of the gun would kill the shooter.

When a gun is firedwhy it recoils?

Newton's Law- for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the bullet is pushed forward out of the barrel, then the gun is pushed back by an equal amount. That is recoil, or "kick". The amount is based on the weight and speed of the bullet, and the weight of the gun. All things being equal, a light bullet kicks less than a heavy bullet, and a heavy gun kicks less than a lighweight gun.


How the velocity of recoil of a gun fire is 1'100 times the velocity of bullet if mass of a gun is 100 times of mass of bullet?

Newton said "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The action is pushing the bullet in one direction. Reaction is the gun being pushed in the other. The energy is speed times mass. The gun masses much more than the bullet, and so will move proportionately slower than the bullet. Which is a very good thing- or the recoil of the gun would kill the shooter.


How does the acceleration of the bullet compare with the acceleration of the rifle?

Both objects accelerate, however due to Newton's 2nd law the acceleration of the rifle is less due to it's higher mass. Newton's second law F = ma In your question the force (F) would be the same on both objects, but the mass (m) would be different and give a different answer for acceleration (a). This difference can be seen by looking at the effect of being on opposite sides of the rifle (ie kickback vs bullet hole)

What are the potential dangers of being hit by a frozen bullet?

Being hit by a frozen bullet can cause serious injuries due to the impact and sharp edges of the ice. The cold temperature of the bullet can also lead to frostbite or hypothermia. Additionally, the force of being hit by a frozen bullet can cause internal injuries and potentially be life-threatening.

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.
