A bullet of mass 20 gram is horizontally fired with a velocity 150 metre per second from a pistol of 2 kilogram what is the recoil velocity of the stock

Open in App

Solution

mass1=0.02kg
u1=0m/s
v1=150m/s
mass2=2kg
u2=0m/s
v2=v.
∴by the law of conservation of momentum,
m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2
0.020+20=0.02150+2v
⇒0+0=3+2v
⇒3=2v
⇒3/2=v
⇒1.5=v
∴recoil velocity = 1.5 m/s
