The formula is, quite simply, that the momentum before and after the shot is the same. You can assume that the momentum before the shot is zero (because the rifle and the bullet were not moving), so after the shot, the total momentum will also be zero.

Which is greater the momentum of a bullet fired from a rifle or the momentum of the rifle's recoil?
Both are equal in magnitude but in opposite direction
A rifle of mass 2 kg is suspended by strings the rifle fires a bullet of mass 0.01 kg at a speed of 200 ms the recoil velocity of the rifle is what?
I think this would be a problem of momentum. p=mv so if the momentum of the bullet is 20 (.01x200=20) then the recoil velocity should equal 10 m/sec (2x10=20). Good old Newtons 3rd Law.
What is a sentence with the word recoil?
The recoil of the rifle bruised her shoulder.The recoil sent him flying backwards.
Does a .177 caliber rifle have recoil?
A .177 caliber air rifle has very little recoil.
How does a rifle demonstrate Newton's third law of motion?
When you fire a rifle,the recoil kick is introducing you to Newton's Third Law.If you you don't hold the rifle properly to absorb the recoil in your whole body, the recoil will leave a nasty bruise mark; (mv) recoil = (mv) bullet. You want to minimize the recoil velocity by maximizing the recoil mass=your rifle + your body. Getting the [proper stance and grip will raise the recoil mass the reduce the impact on your body.
Does a 357 rifle have a strong recoil?
Depends on your sensitivity to recoil and the type of rifle and load used. Generally, not bad at all.
A sentence for recoil?
Example sentence - The rifle has more recoil than I expected.
What is a recoilless rifle?
It is a rife that dose not have recoil.
Why compensate a 22cal rifle?
to reduce recoil
How can you compensate for rifle recoil?
Pull the rifle firmly into your shoulder. Fire standing rather than prone. Use a recoil pad. Change to a lighter recoiling cartridge.
Do all guns have a recoil?
Almost all- but the amount of recoil varies a lot. A .22 rifle has almost no recoil, a 12 gauge shotgun a lot.
