Question

Show that the velocity of bullet is faster than the gun

Answer 1

Answer:

i dont know about that question

Answer 2

Explanation:

From the viewpoint of physics (dynamics, to be exact), a firearm, as for most weapons, is a system for delivering maximum destructive energy to the target with minimum delivery of energy on the shooter.[citation needed] The momentum delivered to the target, however, cannot be any more than that (due to recoil) on the shooter. This is due to conservation of momentum, which dictates that the momentum imparted to the bullet is equal and opposite to that imparted to the gun-shooter system.[failed verification

Given : m

g

=8 kg m

b

=0.01 kg v

b

=400 m/s

Conservation of linear momentum : P

i

=P

f

∴ 0=m

g

V

g

+m

b

v

b

OR 0=8V

g

+(0.01)(400) ⟹∣V

g

∣=0.5 m/s
