Question

Suppose a gun is made of a strong but very light material. Suppose also that the bullet is more massive than the gun itself. For such a weapon

a. the target would be a safer place than where the shooter is located
b. recoil problems would be lessened
c. conservation of momentum would not hold
d. conservation of energy would not hold

anonymous · Answer

as already told in the first problem when u equate both forces(their magnitude)
u will find that there is  agreat accleartion of gun and hence the shooters hand so decide wat will happen
conservation of energy is applicable anywhere where energy is not lost
