A gun fires 6 bullets per second into a target. The mass of each bullet is 3g & the speed of 500 m/s. Find the average force required to hold the gun in position.

$F \cdot \Delta t = m \cdot \Delta v$
HallsofIvy said:You titled this "momentum" so it looks like you already knew the basic idea. The momentum of a single bullet is "mass times velocity" and you are given both of those. Of course, the momentum of 6 bullets is 6 times the momentum of a single bullet. Since this all happens in one second, divide by one second to get the force.
Serious question - is it harder to type “thanks” or “tnx “ on your phone? On mine the latter will auto correct to something else so it’s actually harder.Joe_1234 said:Tnx
