A rifle man, who together with his rifle has a mass of 100 ~kg , stands on a smooth surface and fires 10 shots horizontally. Each bullet has a mass 10 ~g and a muzzle velocity of 800 ~ms ⁻¹ . The velocity which the rifle man attains after firing 10 shots is
Options
- A8 ~ms ⁻¹
- B0.8 ~ms ⁻¹
- C0.08 ~ms ⁻¹
- D-0.8 ~ms ⁻¹
Correct answer
B. 0.8 ~ms ⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
According to law of conservation of momentum, array l 100 v =- 10 1000 10 800 i.e., v =0.8 ~ms ⁻¹ array
