A bullet of mass 10g is fired horizontally with a velocity of 200 m/s from a pistol of mass 3 kg. Calculate the recoil velocity of the pistol.
Added by Kevin A.
Step 1
Given: Mass of the bullet, m_b = 10g = 10×10^-3 kg = 10^-2 kg Velocity of the bullet, v_b = 200 m/s Momentum of the bullet, p_b = m_b * v_b p_b = 10^-2 kg * 200 m/s p_b = 2 kg m/s Show more…
