Question

A bullet of mass 20
horizontally fired with a velo
150 m sl from a pistol of mass 2 12
What is the recoil velocity of the pistol? please awnser it:)​

Answer 1

Hello ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

Given the mass of the bullet is 20

Velocity = 150

Momentum = mass × velocity

= 20×150

= 3000 kg m / s

mass of the pistol = 212

velocity = ?

Momentum = 212 × v

MOMENTUM OF GUN = MOMENTUM OF BULLET

3000 = 212 × V

= 14.150943396
