Question

4.A 200 kg cannon fires a 5 kg chicken into the air at a velocity of 100
m/s. Calculate the velocity of the cannon due to recoil.

Answer 1

Answer:

-2.5

Explanation:

5kg in grams = 5000

200kg in grams = 200,000

V2 = - (M1/M2) V1

Vc = - (Mh/Mc) Vh

Vc = - (5000/200000) 100

Vc = -2.5 units/second
