0.05 m/sec
1.00 m/sec

Initial momentum = final momentum.

Use the concept of conservation of momentum.

MV=mv Where, Gun of mass (M)=100kg, fired velocity (v)= 25m/s, bullet mass (m)=200gm =0.2 kg.

So, V=mv/M.

V= (0.2*25)/100 =0.05m/s.

a1v1=a2v2.
100*v1=25*0.200.
v1=0.05m/sec.

m1u1=m2u2.
100*u1=25*0.200.
u1=.05m/sec.
