I've done the rest of this exercise, and I'm stuck on this one question. Due tomorrow, its half term so I can't go ask my teacher for help and none of my friends do maths.
"A gun of mass 5kg fires a bullet of mass 40g. Given that the bullet leaves the gun with a speed of 500 m/s find the initial speed of recoil of the gun."
This is AS Edexcel Mechanics. A worked answer would be appreciated as I have the answer in the back of my textbook, I'm just completely stuck on how to get to it!
Thanks!
