A rifle with a mass of 1.2 kg fires a bullet with a mass of 6.0 (0.006kg). The bullet moves with a muzzle velocity of 600 m/s after the rifle is fired.
a. What is the momentum of the bullet after the rifle is fired?
b. If external forces acting on the rifle can be ignored, what is the recoil velocity of the rifle?
