A bullet is fired from gun. Which one-gun or bullet-will have more kinetic energy?

Answer»

\(\because E_{k}=\frac{p^{2}}{2 m} \text { or } E_{k} \propto \frac{1}{m} \text { if } p\) is constant.

∵ The momentum of bullet and the gun is same, and the mass of bullet is less than that of the gun. Hence the kinetic energy of the bullet will be greater than that of the gun.
