Problem

A 6 kg6\,\text{kg} gun fires a 30 g30\,\text{g} bullet with a speed of 400 m s−1400\,\text{m s}^{-1} relative to the ground. Neglect external forces. What is the magnitude of the recoil speed of the gun? (a) 0.5 m s−10.5\,\text{m s}^{-1} (b) 2 m s−12\,\text{m s}^{-1} (c) 0.2 m s−10.2\,\text{m s}^{-1} (d) 12 m s−112\,\text{m s}^{-1}
