A marksman holds a rifle of mass mR = 3.00 kg loosely, so it can recoil freely. He fires a bullet of mass mB = 5.00 g horizontally with a velocity relative to the ground of vBx = 300 m/s. What is the recoil velocity vRx of the rifle? What are the final momentum and kinetic energy of the bullet and rifle?
