Generally speaking, machine gun bullets travel at the same velocity as any other gun in the same caliber with the same length barrel. Bullets from guns can travel as slow as a few hundred feet per second up to 2000 feet per second (or more) depending on what it is.

How fast does a bullet travel in feet per second?

The speed of a bullet can vary widely depending on the type of bullet and the gun it is fired from. On average, a bullet can travel at speeds ranging from 800 feet per second to over 3000 feet per second.


How fast is a bullet from a gun?

The speed of a bullet fired from a gun can vary depending on the type of gun and ammunition used. On average, handgun bullets can travel around 800-1600 feet per second, while rifle bullets can travel faster, reaching speeds of 2000-4000 feet per second.


What is the total momentum of the bullet and the gun before firing?

The total momentum of the bullet and the gun before firing is zero, as the gun and the bullet are at rest. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, and since both the gun and the bullet are not moving, their momentum is zero.


How far will a 9mm bullet travel before it begins to fall?

A 9mm bullet will typically travel around 1,500 meters (1,640 yards) before gravity starts causing it to fall to the ground. This distance can vary depending on factors such as the bullet weight, velocity, and angle of fire.


How are Newton's laws applied when a bullet is fired from a gun which recoils?

When a bullet is fired from a gun, Newton's third law is applied as the bullet and the gun experience equal and opposite forces. The force pushing the bullet out of the gun is equal to the force pushing the gun backward, causing recoil. This relationship between the bullet and the gun follows the principle of momentum conservation.

Why does a gun not recoil just as fast as the speed of the bullet?

because the recoil is when the bullet forces the gun back and so the bullet creates the recoil and so it can't make it go just as fast
