A 5.00 x 107 kg battleship originally at rest fires a 1400 kg artillery shell horizontally with a velocity of +525 m/s. (a) If the shell is fired straight aft, there will be negligible friction opposing the ships recoil velocity. Calculate its recoil velocity. m/s (b) Calculate the increase in internal kinetic energy (that is, for the ship and the shell). This is less than the energy released by the gun powder -- significant heat is generated. Additional Materials
