Question

A 60 gm bullet fired from a 5 kg gun leaves with a speed of 500 m/ sec. find the velocity with which the gun recoils ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

6m/s

Explanation:

Mass of bullet,m 1 =60g=0.06kg

Velocity of bullet v 1 =500m/s

Mass of gun m 2 =5kg

Recoil velocity ,v 2

According to the law of conservation of momentum

m 1×v 1 = m 2×v 2

0.06×500=5×v 2

30 = 5× v2

30/5=v2

v2=6m/s
