Answer:Mass of bullet, m=20g= 0.02kg

Velocity of bullet, v=100m/s

Mass of gun, M=5kg

Let recoil velocity of gun =V

Before firing, the system (gun+bullet) is at rest, therefore, initial momentum of the system =0

Final momentum of the system = momentum of bullet + momentum of gun

=mv+MV=

=2+5v

we know Final momentum = Initial momentum

i.e., 2+5v=0

5V=−2

v=-0.4m/s

Negative sign shows that the direction of recoil velocity of the gun is opposite to the direction of the velocity of the bullet.

A negative feedback mechanism tries to negate changes so as to restore the variations that occurs in the value of a parameter or system.

<h3>What is Negative feedback?</h3>

This is known to be a method that tend to reverses any kind of movement or deviation from the set point and it then keeps the body parameters to its normal range.
