When a bullet is fired, it exerts an equal and opposite force on the gun, yet hurt caused by recoil of the gun is much less than that by bullet. Give reason.

A bullet of mass 20 g is fired with speed 400 m s^-1 by a gun of mass 8 kg. Find the recoil velocity of the gun.

A bullet of mass m fired at 30^@ to the horizontal leaves the barrel of the gun with a velocity v. The bullet hits a soft target at a height h above the ground while it is moving downward and emerges out with half the kinetic energy it had before hitting the targtet. which of the following statements are correct in respect of bullet after it emerges out of the target?

Why does a gun recoil when a bullet is fired from the gun ? Explain.

What kind of energy is possessed by the following and why? a bullet fired from a gun.

A rifle of mass 3 kg fires a bullet of mass 0.03 kg. The bullet leaves the barrel of the rifle at a vleocity of 100 m/s. If the bullet takes 0.003 second to move out of the barrel, calculate the force experienced by the rifle due to its recoil. Initially rifle+Bullet system at rest

Akhtar, Kiran and Rahul were riding in a motor car that was moving with a high velocity on an express-way when an insect hit the windshield and got struck on wind-screen. Akhtar and Kiran started pondering over the situation. Kiran suggested that the insect suffered a greater change in momentum as compared to the change in momentum of motor car (because change in the velocity of insect was much more than that of motor car). Akhtar said that since the motor car was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted a larger force on the insect. As a result, the insect died. Rahul while putting in entirely new explanation said that both the motor car and the insect experienced the same force and same change in their momentum. Comment on these suggestions.

A 15 g bullet is fired from a gun of mass 3 kg speed of bullet just after firing is 300 ms^-1 . The recoil speed of gun.
