And opposite momentum.

Say bullet muzzle velocity = 15 000 metres per second

Say bullet mass = 0.02 kilogram (20 grams)

Say rifle mass = 3 kilogram

Then >

Bullet momentum = 0.02 * 15 000 = 300 kg - m/s

Presume Rifle momentum the same , then 300 = 3 * ?

? = 100 metres per second

If an object in motion will stay in motion what causes a bullet shot into fall?

its the laws of motion. once a thing like the bullet has lost its force, it will stop moving and slowly go down its the laws of motion. once a thing like the bullet has lost its force, it will stop moving and slowly go down


Where can one purchase a video of the slow motion film 'Bullet'?

There are many places where one can purchase a video of the slow motion film called 'Bullet'. One can buy a video of the slow motion film called 'Bullet' at popular on the web sources such as Amazon and eBay.


If an object in motion will stay in motion what causes a bullet shot into the air to fall?

An object in motion will stay in motion until acted on by another opposing force. So gravity causes a bullet to fall back to the ground, but wind and air resistance cause the bullet to not fall strait back from where it came, aka one barrel. ____________ The above is true, only if Newtons theories are correct. If Newtons Theories are incorrect, then the bullet performs in the manner The Creator of all things and happensings decreed that it will. [see discussion on this comment]


How is the force of gravitation counteracted by firing a gun?

It isn't.Gravity is always acting on the bullet, from the time it rests on the breech to the time it hits target, and every point in between.At the beginning of its motion, the bullet has velocity in a particular direction. Gravity accelerates the bullet 'downwards' and alters the velocity at each point in time and space. Eventually, the combination of the previous motion and the present velocity makes it strike a target, at which point forces in the target and bullet result in all motion ceasing, and these forces become balanced.

What law of Newton's motion is applicable when the bullet is fired from the gun it recoils?

Strictly speaking, I think all three of his laws of motion could apply, but I believe the answer to what you are asking is, the third law, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."


Which wave is formed when a bullet fired from a gun?

=it is newtons third law of motion which states=="for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"==when a gun is fired the bullet moves in the forward direction which is action whereas the gun recoils in the backward direction which is the reaction......................=

Why does the rifel recoils?

Newton's first law of motion is that every action must have an equal and opposite reaction, first thing you learn in physics. Basically when the bullet leaves the barrel of the rifle a certain amount of force is produced which makes the bullet go in that direction and actually go in the first place. The same amount of energy is therefore produce in the OPPOSITE direction, basically, up the barrel of the gun towards your arm. This causes the gun to recoil back toward you.


What is bullet trajectory?

The trajectory of a bullet or any object is the Physics word for describing its path.Provided air resistance is ignored, the trajectory of a bullet will resemble a projectile motion path.


Can there be motion in 2d with accelaration in only one dimensions?

Yes. That's a good description of the motion of a bullet fired from a gun.

What would be the path of a bullet if fired in space?

Trajectory of a bullet in spaceAs per Newton's First Law of Motion, a body in motion tends to stay in motion (following a straight-line path), unless acted upon by an external force. If a bullet is fired on Earth, the external force that continuously acts on the bullet is the Earth's gravitational pull, which causes the bullet to travel in a curved (parabolic) path toward the Earth until it hits the ground. If a bullet is fired in outer space, however, it will be generally free from any external influences of celestial bodies; hence, the bullet will move in a straight line (and at constant speed) until it enters the gravitational field of a planet, star, or large asteroid, at which point its path will be deflected.Here's a question for you; Would there be any oxygen to ignite the primer on the bullet to make the bullet explode?
