A 0.026-kg bullet is accelerated from rest to a speed of 565 m/s in a 3.2-kg rifle. The pain of the rifle’s kick is much worse if you hold the gun loosely a few centimeters from your shoulder rather than holding it tightly against your shoulder. For this problem, use a coordinate system in which the bullet is moving in the positive direction.

a. Calculate the recoil velocity of the rifle if it is held loosely away from the shoulder.

b. How much kinetic energy does the rifle gain?

c. What is the recoil velocity if the rifle is held tightly against the shoulder, making the effective mass 28.0 kg?

d. How much kinetic energy is transferred to the rifle-shoulder combination? The pain is related to the amount of kinetic energy, which is significantly less in this latter situation.

If a person of mass M simply moved forward with speed V, his kinetic energy would be 12MV2. However, in addition to possessing a forward motion, various parts of his body (such as the arms and legs) undergo rotation. Therefore, his total kinetic energy is the sum of the energy from his forward motion plus the rotational kinetic energy of his arms and legs. The purpose of this problem is to see how much this rotational motion contributes to the...
