What is the total momentum of the bullet and the gun before firing?
The total momentum of the bullet and the gun before firing is zero, as the gun and the bullet are at rest. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, and since both the gun and the bullet are not moving, their momentum is zero.
A 5 g bullet is fired from a 5000g gun If the bullet leaves the gun going 800MS with what speed does the gun recoil?
Using the principle of conservation of momentum, we can calculate that the gun will recoil at 0.08 m/s in the opposite direction of the bullet. The total momentum of the gun and bullet before firing is equal to the total momentum after firing.
When a 60g bullet fired from 5kg gun leaves with a speed of 500ms. Find the velocity with which the gun recoils?
By conservation of momentum, the momentum of the gun and bullet system before firing must equal the total momentum after firing. Therefore, the velocity at which the gun recoils can be calculated by using the equation: (mass of bullet * velocity of bullet)/mass of gun = velocity of gun. Substituting the values given: (0.06 kg * 500 m/s) / 5 kg = 6 m/s.
A bullet with a mass of 0050kg is fired from a gun of a mass 9kg the bullet has a velocity of 250ms What is the velocity with which the gun recoils?
the conversion of momentum law states that the total momentum of twos systems must be equal therefore M1V1 = M2V2 i am assuming the mass of the bullet is 0.0050 kg and not 50kg so (0.0050 * 250) = ( 9 * X) X = (1.25 / 9) X = 0.139 You can't answer these kind of questions with so few parameters. The bullet diameter, barrel length, powder burn rate all greatly effect the answer. The recoil is caused mainly by the gas exiting the barrel, hence muzzle brakes work.
Which has more momentum a gun or the bullet it fires?
If the gun is stationary before the shot, then the momentum of the gun and the momentum of the bullet are equal and opposite after the shot.
What is and example of conservation of momentum?
In an isolated system the total momentum of a system remains conserved. For example If you fire a bullet from Gun , bullet go forward with some linear momentum and in order to conserve the linear momentum the gun recoils
Why is momentum of gun zero after firing a bullet?

What are some examples of concervation of momentum?
Collisions between billiard balls where the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after. Recoil of a gun when a bullet is fired, where the forward momentum of the bullet is equal and opposite to the backward momentum of the gun. Ice skaters pushing off each other in opposite directions, resulting in a conservation of momentum system.
Why is the momentum of a bullet equal to that of a gun?
By Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a gun fires a bullet, the bullet gains momentum in one direction, causing the gun to recoil in the opposite direction with an equal amount of momentum. So the momentum of the bullet is equal in magnitude to the momentum of the gun, but in opposite directions.
A bullet is fired from a gun. The speed of the bullet will be about the same as the speed of the recoiling gun if the mass of the bullet equals the mass of the gun?
The mass of a bullet is nowhere near the mass of a gun. A bullet weighs at most a few hundred grains. Most guns weigh at least a couple of pounds, some weigh several pounds (talking about handguns and rifles).
Which has more momentum a train at rest or a bullet fired from a gun?
A bullet fired from a gun has more momentum than a train at rest because momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. The bullet, despite being smaller in mass compared to the train, can have a significantly higher velocity, resulting in a greater momentum.
Bullet with mass 60.0 g is fired with an initial velocity of 575 ms from a gun with mass 4.50 kg The speed of the recoil of the gun you?
The momentum of the bullet is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the momentum of the gun. Use conservation of momentum to find the speed of the gun recoil. Since momentum is conserved, the momentum of the gun and bullet before they are fired is equal to the combined momentum of both after they are fired.
