Answer:
Speed of recoil = 2.5 m/s
Concept:
Apply law of conservation of Linear Momentum. That is, momentum of bullet equals the momentum of gun.
Explanation:
Mass of bullet (mb) = 50g = 0.05Kg
Mass of gun (mg) = 10kg
Let speed of recoil of gun be 'vg'.
Speed of bullet (vb) = 500m/s (average bullet speed)
Applying law of conservation of Linear Momentum,
(mg)(vg) = (mb)(vb)
vg = (0.05*500)/10
vg = 2.5 m/s
Hence, the speed of recoil of gun is 2.5 m/s

Answer:
lets assume speed of bullent is 10m/s
mv=-MV
0.05*10=10V
V=-0.05m/s
speed of gun=0.05 m/s
the negative sign indicates direction of gun is oppo of movement of bullet
