Question

A bullet of Mass 50 gm is fired with velocity of 150 m/s. If the mass of the rifle is 3 kg calculate the recoil velocity of rifle.​

Answer 1

Answer:Momentum of the gun = - momentum of the bullet

:.3*v = 0.050*(-150)

V = -2.5 m/s

“-” because recoil velocity will be opposite the bullet velocity.
