A bullet of mass 50 g is fired from a gun. If the bullet acquires a velocity of 100 m `s^(1)` in 0.1 second, what is the recoil force on the gun?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Find the mass (`m_b`), initial velocity (`u_b`) and final velocity (`v_b`) of the bullet from the given information.
Find how much time is taken by the bullet to acquire final velocity from given data.
According to Newton.s third law, is the recoil force experienced by the gun equal to the force by which the bullet leaves the gun?
Then, the force of the bullet, `F =m_b((v_b-u_b)/(t))`.
This .F. value is equal to the recoil force on the gun. Find the value of .F. by proper substitution of the values.
