Recoil Momentum Calculator:
Enter the values of Recoil Velocity RV(m/s) & Mass of Gun MG(kg) to determine the value of Recoil Momentum pR(kg*m/s).
Recoil Momentum Formula:
The Recoil Momentum pR(kg*m/s) in kilogram meter per second is equal to the Recoil Velocity RV(m/s) in meter per second and is multiply the Mass of Gun MG(kg) in kilogram.
The Equation of Recoil Momentum can be writtern as,
pR(kg*m/s) = RV(m/s) * MG(kg)
Here,
pR(kg*m/s) = Recoil Momentum in kilogram meter per second
RV(m/s) = Recoil Velocity in meter per second
MG(kg) = Mass of Gun in kilogram
Recoil Momentum Calculation :
1)Determine the Recoil Momentum and given for Recoil Velocity = 50m/s , Mass of Gun = 5kg.
Answer
pR = RV * MG
pR = 50 * 5
pR = 250kg*m/s.
2)Determine the Mass of Gun and given for Recoil Velocity = 50m/s , Recoil Momentum = 250kg*m/s.
Answer
pR = RV * MG
250 = 50 * MG
MG = 5kg.
