4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
easy

A body of mass $0.25 \,kg$ is projected with muzzle velocity $100\,m{s^{ - 1}}$ from a tank of mass $100\, kg$. What is the recoil velocity of the tank ........ $ms^{-1}$

A

$5$

B

$25$

C

$0.5$

D

$0.25$

(AIIMS-1995)

Solution

(d) Using law of conservation of momentum, we get

$100 \times v = 0.25 \times 100$ $⇒$ $v = 0.25\,m/s$
