A gun (of mass M ) whose barrel makes an angle `alpha` with the horizontal fires a shell (of mass m ) . The gun is mounted on a frictionless track , so that recoil takes place with no resistive forces . Find the recoil velocity V of the gun and the absolute velocity of the shell in magnitude and direction if the muzzle velocity of the shell relative to the barrel is v .
