How do the accelerations of the rifle and bullet compare?


Sagot :

Answer:

The acceleration of the rifle equals the force that the bullet exerts on the rifle divided by the mass of the rifle. The two forces are equal, but since the mass of the rifle is much greater than the mass of the bullet, the acceleration of the rifle is much less than the bullet's acceleration.
