Which has more momentum a train at rest or a bullet fired from a gun?

A bullet fired from a gun has more momentum than a train at rest because momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. The bullet, despite being smaller in mass compared to the train, can have a significantly higher velocity, resulting in a greater momentum.


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?

The momentum of the bullet is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the momentum of the gun. Use conservation of momentum to find the speed of the gun recoil. Since momentum is conserved, the momentum of the gun and bullet before they are fired is equal to the combined momentum of both after they are fired.


How are Newton's laws applied when a bullet is fired from a gun which recoils?

When a bullet is fired from a gun, Newton's third law is applied as the bullet and the gun experience equal and opposite forces. The force pushing the bullet out of the gun is equal to the force pushing the gun backward, causing recoil. This relationship between the bullet and the gun follows the principle of momentum conservation.


A bullet is fired from a gun. The speed of the bullet will be about the same as the speed of the recoiling gun if the mass of the bullet equals the mass of the gun?

The mass of a bullet is nowhere near the mass of a gun. A bullet weighs at most a few hundred grains. Most guns weigh at least a couple of pounds, some weigh several pounds (talking about handguns and rifles).


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

Using the principle of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the bullet before the gunshot is equal to the momentum of the bullet and gun after the shot. Calculating the recoil velocity using this principle shows that the gun will recoil at 1.6 m/s in the opposite direction.

How does a bullet fired from a gun have ahigh momentum?

Momentum = mass x velocity A bullet has a high momentum because its velocity is really high.

When a gun is firesit recoils why?

Because linear momentum is conserved. Before the shot, the momentum of (gun + bullet) is zero, so it has to be zero after the shot. The bullet gains forward momentum when fired, so the gun must gain reverse momentum in order to maintain the zero sum.


What is the total momentum of the bullet and the gun before firing?

The total momentum of the bullet and the gun before firing is zero, as the gun and the bullet are at rest. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, and since both the gun and the bullet are not moving, their momentum is zero.


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?

Using the principle of conservation of momentum, we can calculate that the gun will recoil at 0.08 m/s in the opposite direction of the bullet. The total momentum of the gun and bullet before firing is equal to the total momentum after firing.


Which has more momentum a gun or the bullet it fires?

If the gun is stationary before the shot, then the momentum of the gun and the momentum of the bullet are equal and opposite after the shot.


Explain in terms of momentum conservation When a gun is fired the shooter describes the sensation of the gun kicking.?

When a gun is fired, the bullet propels forward with a certain momentum due to the force applied by the expanding gases in the gun barrel. According to the principle of momentum conservation, the gun must also experience an equal but opposite momentum in the backward direction. This backward momentum causes the sensation of "kick" felt by the shooter as the gun recoils.


What are some examples of concervation of momentum?

Collisions between billiard balls where the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after. Recoil of a gun when a bullet is fired, where the forward momentum of the bullet is equal and opposite to the backward momentum of the gun. Ice skaters pushing off each other in opposite directions, resulting in a conservation of momentum system.
