Bullets spin when shot from a rifle or handgun. What causes this spinning?

Physics

Answer:

The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder. Gas converted from the burning powder rapidly expands in the cartridge. The expanding gas forces the bullet out of the cartridge and down the barrel with great speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin as it travels out of the barrel.

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

d = 0.05 [m] = 50 [mm]

Explanation:

We must remember the principle of conservation of energy which tells us that energy is transformed from one way to another. For this case, the initial kinetic energy is transformed into useful work that is equal to the product of force by distance.

E_{k}=F*d\\400 = 8000*d\\d = 0.05 [m] = 50 [mm]

Which quantity below is a derived quantity?
Reil [10]

By definition, the speed of an object is given by:

v = \frac{dr}{dt}

Where,

dr/dt: derived from the position with respect to time

Therefore, speed has units of length over units of time.

Thus, speed is a derived quantity, since it depends on the value of two other quantities.

Answer:

a derived quantity is:

C. Speed
