A 50 g bullet is fired from a 10 kg gun ...

A 50 g bullet is fired from a 10 kg gun with a speed of `500 ms^(-1)` . What is the speed of the recoil of the gun?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Initial momentum = 0
Using conservation of linear momentum
mv + MV = 0
`V = (-mv)/(M) rArr V = 2.5 m//s`
