Answer:
v= 0.2 m/s
Explanation:
Given that
m₁ = 50 kg
m₂ = 100 g = 0.1 kg
u =10 0 m/s
If there is no any external force on the system then the total linear momentum of the system will be conserve.
Initial linear momentum = Final momentum
m₁u₁ + m₂ u₂ =m₂ v₂ +m₁v₁
50 x 0 + 0.1 x 100 = 50 v + 0
0+ 10 = 50 v
v= 0.2 m/s
Therefore the recoil speed will be 0.2 m/s.
