Question

Assertion: The recoil velocity of a gun is much less than that of the bullet. Reason: Less force due to bullet is exerted on the gun than that exerted by gun on the bullet​

Answer 1

Answer:

Assertion is false because momentum of system ( gun + bullet ) as a whole is conserved not individually.

Reason is true as there is no external force on the bullet plus gun system and it holds good for any collision.

Answer 2

Assertion: The recoil velocity of a gun is much less than that of the bullet. Reason: Less force due to bullet is exerted on the gun than that exerted by gun on the bullet​

This assertion is false but the reason is true.

• When a shooter fires a bullet, its recoil velocity is the rearward velocity observed by that the shooter. The shooter perceives a rearward motion as a result of the recoil velocity.
• The recoil velocity is determined by the system's linear momentum conservation. In reality, whether it's a cannon, crossbow, bow, and arrow, or rocket launcher, every projection device has a recoil velocity.
• Because of the law of conservation, this is the case. After firing, the total pump momentum is equivalent to the overall punch momentum before shooting.
• Despite the fact that the projectile has a significantly higher mass, the recoil speed is substantially slower than that of a bullet.
