A gun of mass 3 kg fires a bullet of mass 30 g. The bullet takes 0.003 s to move through the barrel of the gun and acquires a velocity of 100 m/s. Calculate:
- the velocity with which the gin recoils.
- the force exerted on gunman due to recoil of the gun
उत्तर
Given Data:
- Mass of the gun (M) = 3 kg
- Mass of the bullet (m) = 30 g = 0.03 kg
- Velocity of the bullet (v) = 100 m/s
- Time taken by the bullet to move through the barrel (t) = 0.003 s
1. Velocity with which the gun recoils:
From the law of conservation of momentum:
Total initial momentum = Total final momentum
Initially, both the gun and bullet are at rest, so total momentum is zero. After firing:
M⋅V + m⋅v = 0
Where V is the recoil velocity of the gun. Rearrange the equation to find V:
`V = -(m.v)/M`
`V = - (0.03 xx 100)/3`
−1 m/s
2. Force exerted on the gunman due to recoil:
The force exerted on the gunman can be calculated using Newton's Second Law:
F = M × a
`a = (ΔV)/t`
Here, ΔV = 1 m/s and t = 0.003 s
`a = 1/0.003` = 333.33 m/s2
F = 3 × 333.33 = 1000 N
Final Answers:
- Recoil velocity of the gun = 1 m/s
- Force exerted on the gunman = 1000 N

Akhtar, Kiran and Rahul were riding in a motorcar that was moving with a high velocity on an expressway when an insect hit the windshield and got stuck on the windscreen. Akhtar and Kiran started pondering over the situation. Kiran suggested that the insect suffered a greater change in momentum as compared to the change in momentum of the motorcar (because the change in the velocity of the insect was much more than that of the motorcar). Akhtar said that since the motorcar was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted a larger force on the insect. And as a result the insect died. Rahul while putting an entirely new explanation said that both the motorcar and the insect experienced the same force and a change in their momentum. Comment on these suggestions.
