Answer 1

Answer:

if the mass of gun is 2kg and that of the bullet is 100g then the recoil velocity of the gun on firing the bullet with a velocity of 100 m/s will be

Answer 2

Answer:

Recoil velocity of the gun is 5 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;-

         Mass of bullet, m = 100 g

      Velocity of bullet, v = 100 m/s

         Mass of gun, M = 2 kg

Let the recoil velocity of the gun be 'Vg'.

We know by formula that;-

        Recoil Velocity, Vg = mv/M

So, putting the given values in the formula, we get;-

                Vg = 100 × 100/ 1000 × 2

                Vg = 10000/ 2000

                Vg = 10/2

                Vg = 5 m/s

Therefore, the recoil velocity of the gun is 5 m/s.
