From a gun weighing 9 tons, a projectile weighing 90 kg was shot in the horizontal direction

From a gun weighing 9 tons, a projectile weighing 90 kg was shot in the horizontal direction, which acquired a speed of 300 m / s relative to the ground. What speed did the gun acquire?

According to the law of conservation of momentum (the change in the momentum of the system is equal to zero), we have the following expression:
m * v = M * V, where v is the speed of the projectile, m is its mass, V is the speed of the gun, M is its mass.
Then (the mass of the tool must be expressed in kilograms):
V = m * v / M = 90 * 300/9000 = 3 m / s.



One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
