    A gun fires a bullet of mass \[50\,\,g\] with a velocity of\[30\,\,m\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\]. Because of this, the gun is pushed back with a velocity of 1 m s-1.What is the mass of the gun?

    A) \[3.5\,\,kg\]        

    B)        \[30\,\,kg\]

    C) \[1.5\,\,kg\]                      

    D) \[20\,\,kg\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Initial momentum\[=0\] Final momentum\[={{m}_{g}}{{v}_{g}}+{{m}_{b}}{{v}_{b}}\] \[(0.05\times 30)+({{m}_{g}}\times 1)=0,\,\,{{m}_{g}}=1.5\,\,kg\]
