Question

Recoil velocity of gun is much smaller than velocity of bullet.why

Answer 1

When a gun is fired, momentum is conserved. This means that momentum of rifle = momentum of bullet after the bullet has been fired.

Since the mass of the gun is much more compared to the mass of the bullet, its velocity is smaller than the velocity of the bullet hence heavier guns have less recoil than lighter guns.

Answer 2

Answer:

when gun is fired it conserve the momentum
