Question

Expert help me

When firing a rifle, the bullet is shot at a high speed as the rifle recoils in the opposite directo How do you compare the force which they impart on each other? • How do you then explain the big difference in the velocities of two? Would you care to fire a rifle whose bullet is ten times as massive as the rifle? Why or why not?​

Answer 1

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The forces are equal but opposite directions

the velocities of the two differ because of the different masses of the two objects....the bullet is light compared to the rifle/shooter.

I would not want to fire a heavy projectile...the 'kick' or 'recoil' of the rifle would be quite large.....and painful!
