Question

A gun of mass 50kg fires a 50g bullet with a velocity of 200m/sec . the recoil velocity of gun is

Answer 1

Hi..

The famous Newton’s Third Law states that “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.”..

Thus ..

50grams or 0.05kg of bullet with speed 200 m/sec and 50kg gun recoil with speed suppose ‘v’.

0.05 × 200=50×v

10=v×50

v=0.2m/sec ..


Hope this helps u!!
