The recoil motion is not noticed because of the conservation of momentum and the difference in mass.

youxvu + earthxve=0

Say you are 60 kg mass and the earth is 6e24kg mass then the earth's velocity is

ve=60/6e24 vu = vue-23 . If you jumpwed a meter a second then the earth moves only 10 picopico meters/second. This is very hard to notice, a 10 trillionth trillionth of a meter/second.

Yes, but you cannot notice this motion because since the earth's mass is much greater than yours. Its acceleration during this motion is incredibly small.

Because the Earth's mass is so much greater that yours, its recoil is very very small.

How does a rifle demonstrate Newton's third law of motion?

When you fire a rifle,the recoil kick is introducing you to Newton's Third Law.If you you don't hold the rifle properly to absorb the recoil in your whole body, the recoil will leave a nasty bruise mark; (mv) recoil = (mv) bullet. You want to minimize the recoil velocity by maximizing the recoil mass=your rifle + your body. Getting the [proper stance and grip will raise the recoil mass the reduce the impact on your body.


When you jump does the world recoil downward?

When you jump, your body propels itself upward by exerting force on the ground. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, when you push down on the ground to jump, the ground pushes back with an equal force, propelling you upward.

You need to define recoil capacity. All firearms have some degree of recoil. However, recoil CAPACITY is not a term used with firearms.


What does a compensator do for a gun?

A compensator directs gas upwards, thus forcing the barrel downward upon discharge. This helps to reduce muzzle "flip", and assists in faster reacquisition of a target. It also reduces felt recoil.
