Bullets of mass 10 g each are fired from a machine gun at rate of 60 bullets/minute. The muzzle velocity of bullets is `100m//s`. The thrust force due to firing bullets experienced by the person holding the gun stationary is ________.

Answer

1 N

Explanation

`F=(dp)/(dt)=((dn)mv)/((dt))=(1)((10)/(1000))(100)=1N`
`(dn)/(dt)=60`bullets/mintue=1bullet/sec
