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.
A bullet leaves a rifle at a speed of 1100 ft per second the barrel of the gun is 2.10 ft long What was the acceleration of the bullet inside the barrel of the gun?
There is no single answer to this question. It will depend on the cartridge, and the characteristics of the powder and bullet being fired. For instance, the 40 gr 22 Long Rifle cartridge accelerates from the moment of firing, until it travels about 12 inches. The gas produced by firing reaches it's max expansion, and the bullet now begins to SLOW to some degree from friction with the barrel. Acceleration is NOT uniform with any firearm cartridge- if graphed it would be a curve with a very sharp spike.
When a 5.0 g bullet leaves the muzzle of a rifle with a speed of 322 ms What force assumed constant is exerted on the bullet while it is traveling down the 0.78 m long barrel of the rifle?
To find the force, we first need to calculate the acceleration of the bullet using the formula v^2 = u^2 + 2as, where v is the final velocity (322 m/s), u is the initial velocity (0 m/s since the bullet starts from rest), a is the acceleration, and s is the displacement (0.78 m). Solving for acceleration gives us approximately 161,589 m/s^2. Then, we can use Newton's second law (F = ma) to find the force, where m is the mass of the bullet (5.0 g = 0.005 kg) and a is the acceleration. The force exerted on the bullet during its travel down the barrel is approximately 807 N.
When you fire a gun what force affect the bullet as it leaves the barrel and flies through the air?
When a gun is fired, the force that affects the bullet as it leaves the barrel and travels through the air is the explosive force generated by the gunpowder igniting and rapidly expanding gases, propelling the bullet forward. This force propels the bullet through the barrel and imparts momentum to it, allowing it to overcome air resistance and travel towards its target.
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.

How does a bullet leave a gun?
A bullet leaves a gun barrel because it is forced out by the pressure of burning gasses.
What is a muzzle for a gun?
It is the opening at the front of the gun where the bullet leaves the barrel.
What is a muzzle in a gun?
It is the hole at the front end of the barrel where the bullet leaves the gun.
What would cause a bullet to explode after it leaves a rifle barrel?
how fast it is going
Does a shotgun sabot slug rise after it leaves the barrel of the gun?
No, a sabot slug does not rise after it leaves the barrel of a gun. No bullet rises after it leaves the barrel of a gun. It always falls from the line of sight of thebarrel. All firearms have to be "sighted in" a bit high to hit a target downrange. At close range, there is little time for a bullet to drop and hit "low" on the target. Down range, however, the drop is more significant. The more time a bullet is in flight, the more it drops below the line of sight of the barrel. But a bullet always begins to drop below the line of sight of the barrel after it leaves the muzzle. Always.
What causes a bullet to rotate on exit?
What causes it to rotate is the rifling in the barrel. What causes it to continue to rotate after it leaves the barrel is centrifugal force.
What causes a bullet to spin when fired?
Rifling in the barrel is actually grooves cut into the barrel by the manufacturer to cause the bullet to spin as it leaves the barrel. Before rifling the bullets would tend to tumble when they left the barrel causing them to have shorter range and be less accurate.
