Recoil of Gun

Recoil of Gun

### Formula

$$m_gv_g=m_bv_b$$

### Velocity of Gun

$$v_g=\frac{m_bv_b}{m_g}$$

### Terminologies

- mg → Mass of gun.

- mb → Mass of bullet.

- vg → Recoil velocity of gun.

- vb → Velocity of bullet.

### Conditions / Special Cases

- Total momentum before firing is zero.

$$P_{initial}=0$$

### Usage

- Used in recoil problems.
