A shell of mass 0.020 kg is fired by a gun of mass 100 kg. If the muzzle speed of the shell is 80 m s–1, what is the recoil speed of the gun?

उत्तर
Mass of the gun, m2 = 100 kg
Mass of the shell, m1 = 0.020 kg
initial velocities of both the shell and the gun are zero u1 = u2 = 0
After firing, the speed of the shell, v1 = 80 m s-1
Let v2 represent the recoil velocity of the gun. Following the principle of conservation of momentum,
m1v1 + m2v2 = m1u2 + m2u2
0.02 x 80 + 100v2 = 0.02 x 0 + 100 x 0
`v_2 = - 0.02xx80/100 = -0.016 "ms"^(-1)`

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.
