The expanding gases that leave the muzzle of a rifle also contribute to the recoil. A.30 caliber bullet has mass 7.20×10-3 kg and a speed of 601 m/s relative to the muzzle when fired from a rifle that has mass 3.00 kg. The loosely held rifle recoils at a speed of 2.05 m/s relative to the earth.

Question

Find the momentum of the propellant gases in a coordinate system attached to the earth as they leave the muzzle of the rifle.   p= 

The expanding gases that leave the muzzle of a rifle also
contribute to the recoil. A.30 caliber bullet has mass
7.20×10-³ kg and a speed of 601 m/s relative to the muzzle
when fired from a rifle that has mass 3.00 kg . The loosely
held rifle recoils at a speed of 2.05 m/s relative to the earth.
