A 5 kg rifle fires a 15 g bullet at a muzzle velocity of 600 m/s. Find the recoil velocity of the rifle

v₂ = 1.8 [m/s]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must raise the principle of conservation and quantity of movement. It is going to study the momentum before and after the firing of the rifle.

P = m*v

where:

P = momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

Now we need to analyze the moment before and after the shot.

where:

m₁ = mass of the rifle = 5 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the rifle and the bullet before firing = 0 (no movement)

m₂ = mass of the bullet = 15 [g] = 0.015 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of recoil [m/s]

v₃ = velocity of the bullet after firing = 600 [m/s]

Now replacing:
