A bullet of mass 20g starts from rest from one end of the barrel of gun 1.5m long and weighing 40kg. The

bullet leaves at the other end with a velocity of 350m/s. Calculate (i) the time taken by the bullet to leave the

gun and (ii) the velocity of the recoil of the gun..

hey dude

hope it helps

first we will find recoil velocity of gun.Vre=Mass of bullet*velocity of bullet /mass of gun

Vrecoil=0.02*350/40

recoil velocity of gun=0.175 m/s

After that we will find time taken by bullet to cross the barrel if no recoil velocity is there

v=d/t            so,t=d / v

t=1.5/350                           time =0.00428571 second   we will take it as 0.0043 seconds

so,during this time how much must have gun moved backwards decreasing the distance the bullet has to travel      d=v*t             distance =0.175*0.0043      =0.0007525 meters

reduced distance =1.5-0.00075approx

=1.49935 meters the bullet has to travel so t=d/v

time=1.49925/350   time =0.0042835714

so time reduce to 0.0042835714 from 0.00428571

answer is 0.00428357

hole this answer is correct

Kundank: yes...
Kundank: i can explain you
Kundank: First how he can find time taken to cross barallel without finding acceleration
qtfsegjb: oooooo!
qtfsegjb: you are right!!!
Kundank: here bullet is not moving with uniform velocity but with uniform acceleration
Kundank: Now he applied the logic that When bullet will move forward than gun will move backward . Hence shorting the length of a barrrel
Kundank: which is also wrong
Kundank: As he found the recoil velocity of gun when the bullet was having velocity of 350m/s.... means that time bullet have already escaped the barrel
Kundank: So the run recoils after bullet leave....hence length of barrel will remain unchained

Initial momentum of the system = = 0
Final momentum of the system = mv + MV
Momentum conservation: mv + MV = 0
The velocity of the recoil of the gun.V = − (m/M) v

= − (20 x 10−3/40) x 350 m/s
= −0.175 m/s
acceleration a =( v2 −u2)/2S
= [(350 m/s)2 − 0]/(2 x 1.5 m)
= 40833 m/s2
Time taken for the bullet to leave the gun t = (v − u)/ a
=[350 m/s ]/40833 m/s2
= 0.008sec
