Calculate the magnitude of the recoil velocity of a 5.0 kg rifle that shoots a 0.050 kg bullet at a speed of 130 m/s.
Added by Joelle W.
Step 1
In this case, the event is the rifle shooting the bullet. Before the event, the total momentum is zero because neither the rifle nor the bullet is moving. After the event, the bullet is moving forward and the rifle is moving backward. The momentum of the bullet Show more…
