A novelty gun shoots rolled up souvenir t-shirts towards spectators during a NY Mets game at CitiField. The MASS of each t-shirt is 0.529 kg and it is shot from the gun at a VELOCITY of 14 m/s. If the MASS of the gun is 10.0 kg, what is the VELOCITY in m/s that the gun recoils backwards when it shoots a t-shirt?
