Question

When a bullet is fiered from a gun it is more dangerous than air molecule hitti g a person though they have almost the same speed why does this happen?

Answer 1

Because bullet has greater mass and speed than air molecule

Answer 2

$\huge \star \frak{ \underline{ \underline \orange{Answer:}}}$

• The momentum of a bullet is very large than the momentum of the air molecule as the mass of bullet is very large than that of air molecule. When bullet and air molecule hit a person, then the momentum transferred to person by a bullet is very large than the momentum transferred by the air molecule. Hence, large force is exerted on the person by the bullet.
