  2. Physics of firearms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_firearms

    According to Newtonian mechanics, if the gun and shooter are at rest initially, the force on the bullet will be equal to that on the gun-shooter. This is due to Newton's third law of motion (For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction). Consider a system where the gun and shooter have a combined mass m g and the bullet has a mass m b.

  3. Ballistic coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_coefficient

    It is inversely proportional to the negative acceleration: a high number indicates a low negative acceleration—the drag on the body is small in proportion to its mass. BC can be expressed with the units kilogram-force per square meter (kgf/m 2 ) or pounds per square inch (lb/in 2 ) (where 1 lb/in 2 corresponds to 703.069 581 kgf/m 2 ).

  4. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    If the mass does not change with time, then the derivative acts only upon the velocity, and so the force equals the product of the mass and the time derivative of the velocity, which is the acceleration: [21] = =.

  5. Acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration

    In classical mechanics, for a body with constant mass, the (vector) acceleration of the body's center of mass is proportional to the net force vector (i.e. sum of all forces) acting on it (Newton's second law): = =, where F is the net force acting on the body, m is the mass of the body, and a is the center-of-mass acceleration.
