Question

A gun whose mass is 0.8 kg fires a bullet

whose mass is 0.016 kg with a velocity of
700 ms Calculate the velocity of the gun's
recoil​

Answer 1

14m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

As per Newton's third law, the momentum of the bullet firing will equal the momentum of the guns recoil:

`m_(g)v_(g) = m_(b)v_(b)`

(.8)v=(.016)(700)

v=11.2/0.8

v=14m/s
