### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Concept of Momentum Conservation**: When a gun is fired, the bullet is propelled forward, and the gun experiences a backward motion known as recoil. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum before firing must equal the total momentum after firing, provided no external forces act on the system. 2. **Defining the System**: We consider the system to be the gun and the bullet. Before firing, both are at rest, so the total momentum is zero. After firing, the momentum of the bullet moving forward must be balanced by the momentum of the gun moving backward. ...

Why does Moon have no atmosphere?

Two stone of masses m and 2 m are whirled in horizontal circles, the heavier one in a radius r//2 and the lighter one in radius r . The tangential speed of lighter stone is n times that of the value of heavier stone when the experience same centripetal forces. the value of n is

Statement I: If a sphere of mass m moving with speed u undergoes a perfectly elastic head-on collision with another sphere of heavier mass M at rest ( M gt m ), then direction of velocity of sphere of mass m is reversed due to collision (no external force acts on system of two spheres). Statement II: During a collision of spheres of unequal masses, the heavier mass exerts more force on the lighter mass in comparison to the force which lighter mass exerts on the heavier one,

Two blocks of masses 5 kg and 2 kg are placed on a frictionless surface and connected by a spring. An external kick gives a velocity of 14 m//s to the heavier block in the direction of lighter one. The magnitudes of velocities of two blocks in the centre of mass frame after the kick are respectively :
