V=1.19m/s

Explanation:

A 30-06 caliber hunting rifle fires a bullet of mass 0.018 kg with a velocity of 417 m/s to the right. The rifle has a mass of 6.29 kg. What is the recoil speed of the rifle as the bullet leaves the rifle?

this momentum.

it has to deal with the interaction between bullet and a gun

. lets have a deep dive into the solution

momentum is the product of mass of a body and the velocity

momentum of the bullet-=momentum of the gun

mv=MV

mass of bullet=0.018kg

v=velocity of bullet

M=mass of rifle 6.29kg

V=recoil velocity of the rifle gun

0.018*417=6.29*V

V=1.19m/s

mass is the quantity of matter in a body

velocity is change in displacement per time
