When a bullet is fired from a gun what happens to the energy released?
When a bullet is fired from a gun, the energy stored in the gunpowder is converted into kinetic energy that propels the bullet forward. The bullet carries this kinetic energy as it travels through the air until it hits a target or loses its energy through friction and air resistance.
When a bullet leaves a gun the bullet has what type of energy?
The bullet has a great deal of kinetic energy, because of its high speed. It also has a little bit of potential energy relative to the ground, because of its height above the ground.
Is shooting a gun mechanical energy?
Yes, shooting a gun involves the conversion of mechanical energy into kinetic energy when the trigger is pulled, causing the firing pin to strike the primer in the bullet cartridge, igniting the propellant, which then propels the bullet out of the barrel.
Is a loaded gun an example of kinetic energy?
No, a loaded gun is an example of potential energy, specifically stored mechanical energy due to its position. Once fired, the bullet will exhibit kinetic energy as it moves through space.
Why is the speed of a recoiling gun less than the speed of the fired bullet?
Newton said "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The action is pushing the bullet in one direction. Reaction is the gun being pushed in the other. The energy is speed times mass. The gun masses much more than the bullet, and so will move proportionately slower than the bullet. Which is a very good thing- or the recoil of the gun would kill the shooter.

Can a bullet exit a gun before you hear the blast?
Yes, it is will happen that way. The sound of the blast is caused by the release of gasses at the muzzle of the gun. Those gasses are trapped behind the bullet- pushing it- and are not released until the bullet leaves the gun.
Which has more energy the bullet or the recoiling gun?
Although their linear momenta are equal, their potential, kinetic, and heat energies are different. The gun has more heat. Regarding potential energy, it can vary. But if the shot is anywhere near horizontal and the shooter doesn't drop the gun, then the recoiling gun has more gravitational potential energy at any time after the shot. The fired bullet has more kinetic energy.
Why does the bullet goes very very far away but the gun has jerk?
According to the law of action and reaction, the bullet and the gun absorb the same amount of energy, just in inverse diretions. But the bullet is much lighter and thus will go much faster.

How the velocity of recoil of a gun fire is 1'100 times the velocity of bullet if mass of a gun is 100 times of mass of bullet?
Newton said "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The action is pushing the bullet in one direction. Reaction is the gun being pushed in the other. The energy is speed times mass. The gun masses much more than the bullet, and so will move proportionately slower than the bullet. Which is a very good thing- or the recoil of the gun would kill the shooter.
What type of energy store is stored in a gun bullet?
While it is moving, it has kinetic energy. Before it is shot, it has chemical energy - that's what causes the explosion.
Why does the bullet and gun have different acceleration?
The gun weighs MUCH more than the bullet.
