What recoil velocity does she acquire in response to a single shot from a stationary position, assuming that n
The lead female character in the movie Diamonds Are Forever is standing at the edge of an offshore oil rig. As she fires a gun, she is driven back over the edge and into the sea. Suppose the mass of a bullet is 0.007 kg, and its velocity is +738 m/s. Her mass (including the gun) is 60 kg.
(a) What recoil velocity does she acquire in response to a single shot from a stationary position, assuming that no external force keeps her in place?
______m/s
(b) Under the same assumption, what would be her recoil velocity if, instead, she shoots a blank cartridge that ejects a mass of 5.0 10-4 kg at a velocity of +738 m/s?
______m/s
It’s easy; a momentum issue. Mass x velocity = mass x velocity. Rather simplified though, because in the first case the burning gases aren’t considered and they’re a major part of recoil. Like a jet exhaust shoving you back.
