Calculate the magnitude of the recoil velocity of a 11.5 kg rifle that fires a 0.0500 kg bullet with a muzzle velocity of 600 m/s.
Added by Trinidad M.
Step 1
In this case, the event is the firing of the bullet. Before the bullet is fired, the total momentum is zero because neither the rifle nor the bullet is moving. After the bullet is fired, the bullet has a momentum of mass_bullet * velocity_bullet, and the rifle Show more…

A 150 -grain $.30-06$ bullet has a mass of $0.01 \mathrm{kg}$ and a muzle velocity of $900 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. If it takes $1 \mathrm{ms}$ (millisecond) to travel down the barrel, what is the average force acting on the bullet?
