Question

A bullet with a mass of 4.00 X 10^-3 is loaded into a gun. The loaded gun has a mass of 6.82 kg. The bullet is fired, causing the empty gun to recoil at a speed of.0.25 m/s. What is the speed of the bullet?

Note: Please show all of the steps so that I can understand what i am supposed to do. Too many times the experts do not show all of the steps. I do not understand Physics.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given:

Mass of bullet m = $4.0 \times 10^{- 3} k g$

Mass of loaded gun M = 6.82 kg

Speed of recoil $v_{r} = 0.25 m / s$
