The correct option is 1) both A and R are correct.
Due to the conservation of momentum, the gun provides equal and opposing momentum to the forward momentum of the bullet.
Before Firing:
- Consider our system to be "gun plus bullet." Since no external influences influence the system, it is an isolated system. (Gravity and air resistance are not considered.)
- Since both the rifle and the bullet are at rest, their respective momentums (mv) are both zero.
- Therefore, the system's overall momentum is zero before the bullet is fired.
After Firing:
- Following the gunshot, the bullet accelerates to the right, as indicated. This indicates that the bullet has the momentum to the right, or mv.
- Before the gun was fired, the system had zero overall momentum. Thus it must also have zero total momentum right now.
- As a result, the gun's momentum must be equal to and opposite to the left's, so:
- Although the rifle and bullet have equal momenta, their resulting velocities are not equal. Due to the bullet's low mass, it travels at high speed.
- Because of its heavy mass, the gun has a low velocity. The gun's "kick" is determined by its velocity.
Thus, the assertion and the reason is correct.
