4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
easy

When a $4 \,kg$ rifle is fired, the $10 \,g$ bullet receives an acceleration of $3 \times 10^6 \,cm / s ^2$. The magnitude of the force acting on the rifle (in newton) is ............

A

Zero

B

$120$

C

$300$

D

$3000$

Solution

(c)

Using Newton's third law, bullet will apply the same force in the opposite direction.

So, using $F=m a=\frac{10}{1000} \times 3 \times 10^6 \times 10^{-2}=300 \,N$
