Mass of the gun, M = 100 kg Mass of the shell, m = 0.020 kg Muzzle speed of the shell, v = 80 m/s Recoil speed of the gun = V Both the gun and the shell are at rest initially. Initial momentum of the system = 0 Final momentum of the system = mv â?? MV Here, the negative sign appears because the...

Mass of the gun, M = 100 kg Mass of the shell, m = 0.020 kg Muzzle speed of the shell, v = 80 m/s Recoil speed of the gun = V Both the gun and the shell are at rest initially. Initial momentum of the system = 0 Final momentum of the system = mv â?? MV Here, the negative sign appears because the directions of the shell and the gun are opposite to each other. According to the law of conservation of momentum: Final momentum = Initial momentum mv â?? MV = 0 â?´ V = mv / M = 0.020 Ã? 80 / (100 Ã? 1000) = 0.016 m/s

apply Newtons 3rd law of motion- Action = reaction Kinetic energy of sheel = Kinetic energy of gun 0.020*80*80/2 = 100*v*v/2 v = 1.13 metre/sec hence recoil speed of gun = 1.13 metre/sec

By law of conservation of momentum, m1v1+m2v2=m1u1+m2u2 =>0.020Ã?80 +100Ã?v2=0 =>1.6+100v2=0 =>v2=-1.6/100=-0.016m/s

here momentum is conserved..try m1v1=m2v2..this will give v2=0.016 m/s.
