heya.......
Recoil velocity = -mass of bullet*velocity the bullet /Mass of Gun
V=-20*150/2000
V=-30000/2000
V=-15m/s

Prashant24IITBHU:
it's 1.5 not 15. Correct it before anyone reports it.
Then leave it . The questioner will understand. It's a genuine error. The moderators will let u edit if in case anyone reports it.

The momentum is being conserved.
So, 20 × 150 = 2000 × recoil velocity
ie, recoil velocity = 3000÷2000
=1.5 m/s
