A machine gun fires a bullet of mass 40 g with a velocity 1200 m/s The man holding it, can exert . a maximum force of 144 N on the gun. How many bullets can he fire per second at the most?
2 Answers
The force exerted by machine gun on man''s hand in firing a bullet = change in momentum per second on a bullet or rate of change of momentum =(40/1000*)1200= 48 N .
The force exerted by man on machine gun = 144 N
Hence, number of bullets fired = 3
ApprovedAccording to newtons 2nd law..... F=m(v-u)/t
144=0.04*n*1200/1 (per second...so t=1s)
n=3 bullets / sec

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless
horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to
each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same
radius and mass m is placed over the void created by
the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls
kept on the floor to each other if the system remains
in equilibrium.
