A what force does the exploding powder exhaust apply to


An 8.5 gram slug is fired East from a 0.357 magnum hand gun held 1.5meters above theground. The muzzle velocity (as the projectile leaves the gun) is 1400 ft/sec. The bullet isaccelerated at a constant rate as it travels through the 10cm long barrel. After leaving the barrelthe gun powder force drops to 0.2

a) What force does the exploding powder exhaust apply to accelerate the slug?

b) What horizontal force is put on the shooters arm by the gun? Sketch a graph of this forceas a function of time. (asume the gun is held fixed)

c) How far away does the bullet travel (its range) before it hits the ground.

d) At what angle would such a projectile need to be going initially in order to double thedistance it travels before impact, the range.

e) How much does the bullet weigh?
