Question

A bullet of mass 50g is fired horizontally with a velocity 200m/s from a pistol of mass 5kg .calculate the recoil of the pistol

Answer 1

recoil velocity of the pistol will be =-2m/s

Hope it helps u :)

Answer 2

Answer:

-0.2m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Using conservation of momentum

mass of bullet × initial velocity of bullet + mass of gun × initial velocity of gun = mass of bullet × final velocity of bullet + mass of gun × final velocity of gun

Since both gun and bullet are at rest, u = 0

0.005(0) + 50(0) = 0.005(200) + 5(x)

0+0 = 1+5x

x = -1/5m/s

x = -0.2m/s
