Which has more energy the bullet or the recoiling gun?

Although their linear momenta are equal, their potential, kinetic, and heat energies are different. The gun has more heat. Regarding potential energy, it can vary. But if the shot is anywhere near horizontal and the shooter doesn't drop the gun, then the recoiling gun has more gravitational potential energy at any time after the shot. The fired bullet has more kinetic energy.

Why is the speed of a recoiling gun less than the speed of the fired bullet?

Newton said "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The action is pushing the bullet in one direction. Reaction is the gun being pushed in the other. The energy is speed times mass. The gun masses much more than the bullet, and so will move proportionately slower than the bullet. Which is a very good thing- or the recoil of the gun would kill the shooter.


A bullet is fired from a gun. The speed of the bullet will be about the same as the speed of the recoiling gun if the mass of the bullet equals the mass of the gun?

The mass of a bullet is nowhere near the mass of a gun. A bullet weighs at most a few hundred grains. Most guns weigh at least a couple of pounds, some weigh several pounds (talking about handguns and rifles).


What is the root word for recoiling?

When a gun is fired which experiences a greater force the gun or the bullet?

When a gun is fired, the bullet experiences a greater force than the gun. This is due to Newton's third law of motion, where for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. The force from the expanding gases propels the bullet forward with more force than the recoiling gun experiences.
