Step 1
First, we need to find the momentum of each bullet. Momentum (p) is given by the formula: p = mass × velocity Show more…

Bullets of mass 40 g each are fired from a machine gun with a velocity of 10^3 m/s. If the person firing the bullets experience an average force of 200N, then the number of bullets fired per minute will be

A 150-grain .30-06 bullet has a mass of 0.01 kg and a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s. If it takes 1 ms (millisecond) to travel down the barrel, what is the average force acting on the bullet?

ssm A 15 -g bullet is fired from a rifle. It takes $2.50 \times 10^{-3}$ s for the bullet to travel the length of the barrel, and it exits the barrel with a speed of 715 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ . Assuming that the acceleration of the bullet is constant, find the average net force exerted on the bullet.
