a100 grams bullets is fired from a 10kg gun with a speed of recoil of the gun

Are you supposed to calculate the speed of recoil of the gun? Assume conservation of momentum

To calculate the speed of recoil of the gun, we can use the principle of conservation of momentum. According to this principle, the total momentum before the bullet is fired is equal to the total momentum after the bullet is fired.

The momentum of an object is defined as the product of its mass and velocity.

Given:
Mass of the bullet (m₁) = 100 grams = 0.1 kg
Mass of the gun (m₂) = 10 kg

Let the speed of recoil of the gun be v₂.

The momentum before the bullet is fired can be calculated by:
Initial momentum = m₁ * 0 (since the bullet is initially at rest)

The momentum after the bullet is fired can be calculated by:
Final momentum = (m₁ * v₁) + (m₂ * v₂)

Since the bullet is fired in one direction, the speed of the bullet (v₁) will be the same as the speed of the recoil of the bullet (v).

Equating the initial and final momentum and solving for v:
0 = (m₁ * v) + (m₂ * v₂)

Now we can plug in the given values:
0 = (0.1 kg * v) + (10 kg * v₂)

To solve for v₂, rearrange the equation:
v₂ = -(0.1 kg * v) / (10 kg)

Now let's assume a value for the speed of the bullet (v), and plug it into the equation to get the corresponding value for the speed of recoil of the gun (v₂).

Note: The speed of the bullet can vary depending on factors such as the bullet type and the firing mechanism used.
