A rifle with a weight of 40 N fires a 5.5-g bullet with a speed of 220 m/s.(a) Find the recoil speed of the rifle.

0.2695/s

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating impulse

Impulse = m(v-u) = Ft

M is the mass

v is the final velocity.

u is the initial velocity

F is the force

t is the time

Get the time;

t = m(v-u)/F

t = 0.0055(220)/40

t = 0.0275s

Get the speed of the rifle

v = u+gt.

v = 0+9.8(0.0275).

v = 0.2695m/s

Hence the speed of the rifle is 0.2695m/s

energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical or physical means. do not understand what you are asking but hope this
