A 5g bullet is fired from a 500g if the bullet leaves the gun going 800ms with what speed does it recoil?

The idea is to use conservation of momentum. The momentum before the shot is fired is assumed to be zero, so write an equation that states that the momentum after the shot is zero, and solve it. The total momentum, of course, is the sum of the momentum of the two parts; for each part, the momentum is mass x velocity.

A 5 g bullet is fired from a 5000g gun If the bullet leaves the gun going 800MS with what speed does the gun recoil?
Speed of recoil of the gun = change in momentum/mass of the bullet = 5 x 10-3 x 800/5 msec-1 = 0.8 msec-1
Why does your hand jerks when you shot a bullet?
Because of the recoil of the weapon. Equal and opposite reaction to the ejection of the projectile fired.
Which is greater the momentum of a bullet fired from a rifle or the momentum of the rifle's recoil?
Both are equal in magnitude but in opposite direction
How are Newton's laws applied when a bullet is fired from a gun which recoils?
The law that says every action has an equal and oppsite reaction: the momentum of the bullet is balanced by the equal momentum of the gun (and shooter) in the opposite direction - the recoil.
Bullet with mass 60.0 g is fired with an initial velocity of 575 ms from a gun with mass 4.50 kg The speed of the recoil of the gun you?
.351 km/hr

What is the term recoil o f the gun?
Bullet forward, gun back - as in when the gun is fired, the bullet goes forward, and the explosion pushes (recoil) the gun backwards.
What is an example of an action and reaction force working together?
the recoil of a bullet fired from a gun
What is an example of an action reaction forces?
The recoil of a bullet being fired from a gun is a good example, the action force is the gun pushing the bullet away from the gun and the reaction force is the bullet pushing back against the gun (recoil).

Both are equal in magnitude but in opposite direction

Backward kick of a rifle that is fired is an example of which force?
The "kick" of a rifle- properly called recoil- is an example of REACTION- to the ACTION of the bullet being fired. "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The bullet going one way results in the gun being pushed the other way.
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.
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.
Why does the gun recoils and puch the person back when fired?
When a gun is fired a bullet (or cartridge) with a small mass but a very high velocity is ejected. The recoil of the gun is a reaction to this force and is sufficient to push back the person who fired the weapon.
How are Newton's laws applied when a bullet is fired from a gun which recoils?
The law that says every action has an equal and oppsite reaction: the momentum of the bullet is balanced by the equal momentum of the gun (and shooter) in the opposite direction - the recoil.
How does the norinco model 213 work?
At least moderately well. It is a recoil operated semi auto pistol. Parent gun was the Tokarev TT-33. The trigger releases the hammer, strikes firing pin, firing primer. Recoil of bullet being fired makes slide recoil, extracting and ejecting fired case. Recoil spring stops slide, reverses movement, picking up and chambering a fresh cartridge.
