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.
Why does a gunner feel a backward jerk when firing a gun?
This is conservation of momentum. You have the hot gases from the explosive charge along with the bullet moving out the barrel, away from the person. Momentum is mass times velocity. While the mass of the bullet and gases are small, the velocity is very high. So nothing was moving before the trigger was pulled, so net momentum is zero. After the trigger is pulled, the momentum is still net zero. Any momentum away from the gunner will have an equal momentum (the gun recoiling) toward him. Since the gun has much more mass than the bullet, the velocity is much less.
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.
How can calculate recoil velocity of gun?
The recoil velocity of a gun can be calculated using the principle of conservation of momentum. The formula to calculate the recoil velocity is: Recoil velocity = (mass of bullet * velocity of bullet) / mass of gun. This formula takes into account the mass of the bullet, the velocity of the bullet, and the mass of the gun.
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).
Why a gun man get a jerk on firing a bullet?
Recoil from the explosion of the charge.
Why the gun leans backward when the bullet fire from the gun?
It's the recoil from the force of the bullet being fired. The gun powder pushes the bullet forward and also equally pushes the gun back into your hand.
What caliber bullet did the Tommy gun fire?
.45 ACP
Would you care to fire a gun that has a bullet 10times as massive as the gun?
No. The recoil from such a gun would kill you. action and reaction. Bullet would stand still, gun would move.
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.
What mean by bore of a gun?
The bore of a gun relates to the diameter of the hole in the barrel - and in turn the diameter of the bullet the gun can fire.
Can a gun fire bullets without bullets in the gun?
No. Yes. All you have to do is strike the bullet's primer with a sharp corner of the gun.
What does cocking a gun means?
cocking a gun is when you pull the slide of a gun back and forwards once to get a bullet into the chamber to fire
Can a 22 cal air gun fire a 22 bullet if it has a firing pin?
No
How do you make gun in little alchemy?
Metal and Bullet...More info: Metal: fire & stone Bullet: Gunpowder & Metal
Will the grendel p-12 gun fire with a bullet in the chamber even though there is no magazine in the gun?
IIRC, yes.
Does a RPG Fire strait in real life?
No, it does not. It has an arc, the same as a bullet fired from a gun does.
