A 10g bullet is short from a 5kg gun with a velocity of 400m/sec. What is the speed of recoil of the gun?

Answer»

Answer:

This is based on the conservation of momentum, according to this the momentum of bullet should be EQUALS to momentum of GUN.

Pbullet = Pgun

P= mv

Mass of bullet is 20 GM= 0.02 kg , velocity= 400m/sec

Mass of gun = 8kg, and let velocity is V

So, 0.02×400 = 8×V

So, V= 1 m/sec

This is the RECOIL velocity of gun
