To reduce recoil, many modern rifles are equipped with a recoil mechanism. That is, the portion of
the rifle which acts acts against the force of the expanding gases which propels the bullet is allowed to slide in a
carriage relative to the rest of the gun. Let's say this carriage has a mass of 1.5 kg and is allowed to slide over a
distance of 25 cm. The bullet being fired has a mass of 15 g and a muzzle velocity of 500 m/s.
