Question

Explain Recoiling of a Gun in the pretext of Newton's Second Law.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The recoiling of gun is an example of Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum. When gun fires a bullet, it experiences a force in forward direction (action) , as a result the gun exerts a backward force (reaction) on the shoulder.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd law states that the Force is directly proportional to change in momentum .

• A gun's recoil is created by the bullet's forward motion.
• The recoil of the rifle balances the force used to discharge the projectile
• . As a result, the recoil adheres to Newton's third law of motion.
• Recoil refers to a movement backward brought on by the application of a force.
• A backward push is produced on a gun when a bullet is released, as in the case of a gun.
• This occurs as a result of the bullet and exhaust fumes gaining speed.
• Now, according to the law of conservation of momentum ( initial momentum is equal to the final momentum), the backward thrust that is produced on the gun equalises the forward momentum of the bullet.
• The more is shot, the bigger the recoil of bullet is.
• So, there is a change in momentum due to which a force is experienced by the bullet and the gun.
