A5.75 × 107 kg battle ship originally at rest fires a 1100-kg artillery shell horizontally with a velocity of 550 m/s. show answer no attempt 50% part (a) if the shell is fired straight aft (toward the rear of the ship), there will be negligible friction opposing the ship’s recoil. calculate the recoil velocity of the ship, in meters per second, taking the firing direction to be the positive direction.
