Question

a. Law of conservation of Linear Momentum and its application with reference to Recoil of a Gun​

Answer 1

Answer:

By the principle of conservation of linear momentum, total linear momentum before firing is equal to the total momentum after firing. Negative sign shows that direction of is opposite to that of , i.e., gun recoils as m2 is much greater than m1. i.e., heavier gun will recoil with smaller velocity.
