Question

two bullets are fired one by a light rifle and another by heavy rifle with the same force. which rifle will hurt the soldier more why

Answer 1

Answer: As both the bullets are identical and are fired with the same force. So, to reduce recall velocity, we use, heavy rifle so that its heavy mass compensate the large momentum. But for light rifle, recoil velocity will be large due to small mass thus light rifle will hurt more to the shoulder.
