A bullet is fired fram a riffie . If the rifle recoils freely determine whether the kinetic energy of the rifle is greater then , equal or less then that of the bullet .

A

less than that of the bullet

B

more than that of the bullet

C

Sane as that of the bullet

D

Equal or less than that of the bullet

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Here both the gun and bullet have same momentum .As te mass of the gun is larger,so the kinetic energy of the gun us less than that of bullet.
