Transcribed Image Text:1. A 2 kg gun fires a 0.001 kg bullet at 400 m/s. What is the recoil speed of the gun? Before After
Expert Solution
Step 1

Mass of the gun, m1 = 2 kg, 

Mass of the bullet, m2 = 0.001 kg, 

Before firing the bullet, the intial velocities of the gun and the bullet, both are zero (u1 = 0 and u2 = 0).

After firing, the velocity of the bullet is, v2 = 400 m/s.
