Question

Why does the recoil of a heavy gun on firing not so strong as a light gun on using the same cartridges ?

Answer 1

The reason why the recoil of a heavy gun is not as strong as that of the light gun when fired is, because of a simple theory that states that the recoil speed of the gun is inversely proportional to its mass. 

 Since recoil of a gun is the reaction to the firing of a bullet from a gun, when a bullet is fired from a gun which is heavy and has more mass, the speed at which a bullet is fired automatically results in less speed as compared to a bullet fired from a light gun.

Answer 2

Answer:

it is because the the recoil velocity is inversely proportional to mass of can the mass increases required velocity and the velocity increases mass

decreases
