Question

a 33 kg gun is standing on a frictionless surface. the gun fires a 53.9 g bullet with a muzzle velocity of 310 m/s. the positive direction is that of the bullet. calculate the momentum of the bullet immediately after the gun was fired. answer in units of kg · m/s.

Answer 1

Answer:We know that

Momentum = Mass * Velocity

M = 53.9 g, mass of bullet

V = 310 m/s, velocity of bulle

P(momentum) = (53.9/1000) * 310

P = 0.0539 * 310

P = 16.709 Kg.m/s
