Question

In principle, when you fire a rifle, the recoil should push you backward. How big a push will it give

Answer 1

The answer is " because it is in the opposite direction of the bullet".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

`m_1= 70 \ kg\\\\m_2 = 0.01\ kg\\\\v_2 = 500\ (m)/(s)\\\\v_1 = ?`

Using formula:

It recoils the velocity of the rifle
`= -0.07142 \ \ (m)/(s)`

Its negative sign displays the opposite direction of the rifle.
