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.

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)
If air resistance can be neglected how does the acceleration of a ball that has been tossed straight upward compare with its acceleration if simply dropped?
The acceleration is the same, which is the acceleration due to gravity. About 10m/s^2
Compare and contrast speed and acceleration?
-- "Speed" is the rate at which distance changes. -- "Velocity" is speed along with the direction of motion. -- "Acceleration" is the rate at which velocity changes, including the direction of the change.
How do acceleration and deceleration compare each other?
They both have to do with cake. When you accelerate you eat more cake and when you degenerate you eat less cake.
A rifle bullet shot horizontally has a vertical acceleration of?
9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 downward.

Compare velocity from acceleration?
Velocity is a constant traveling speed. Acceleration is increasing traveling speed (variation of speed over time)
Compare the tension of a train with constant speed and acceleration?
Unless the train is in a curve, you cannot have constant speed and constant acceleration. You either have constant speed and zero acceleration, or you have changing speed and constant acceleration. Please restate the question.
When forces are balanced compare the acceleration of an object at rest and an object in motion?
An object at rest has zero acceleration. If the set of forces acting on a moving object is balanced, then the moving object also has zero acceleration.
How do you know what kind of rifle you own?
Compare it to pictures in gun maker catalogs.
Compare 22 long rifle with 17 mach II ballistics?
No comparison
Is 1 G (Acceleration) at 600 Rpm the same as 3 G at 1800 Rpm?
That depends what you want to compare. In any case, 3G is more acceleration than 1G.

How do you determine grade for 1961 browning 22 rifle?
Compare against known grades.
How do you determine the condition of your 98k rifle?
Compare to others at a gun show, auction site, etc..
How do you find parts for a Trade wind rifle?
Basically, the Tradewinds Husky is an import model of the Husqvarna line of rifles from Sweden. Have a gunsmith compare your rifle to other Husqvarna rifles.
