Q28. A bullet of mass 40 g is fired from a gun of mass 10 kg. If the velocity of bullet is 400 m/s. Then the recoil velocity of the gun will be

(1) 1.6 m/s in the direction of bullet

(2) 1.6 m/s opposite to the direction of bullet

(3) 1.8 m/s in the direction of bullet

(4) 1.8 cm/s opposite to the direction of bullet

Solution

Dear student,by law of conservation of momentuminitial momentum=final momentum0=m1×v1+m2×recoil velocityrecoil velocity=-m1m2v1=-40×40010000=-1.6m/sso the velocity will be 1.6m/s opposite to the direction of bulletRegards
