Question

A marksman holds a 3.00 kg rifle loosely, so that we can ignore any horizontal external forces acting on the rifle–bullet system. He fires a bullet of mass 5.00 g horizontally with a speed vbullet=300m/s.

The same rifle fires a bullet with mass 10.5 g at the same speed as before. For the same idealized model, find the ratio of the final kinetic energies of the bullet and rifle.
