Question

What is the momentum of the gun and bullet before and after firing

Answer 1

Conservation of momentum is the law that is held true when the gunis fired and a "kick" is felt. When a bullet is fired from a gun, total momentum before is zero since nothing is moving. After firing thebullet there is a momentum in the forward direction.

The momentum is defined as the product of its mass and velocity.

Answer 2

Answer:

The total momentum of the bullet and the gun before firing is zero because their velocity is zero.

Explanation:

When a bullet is fired from a gun, total momentum before is zero since nothing is moving. After firing the bullet there is a momentum in the forward direction.
