Calculate Recoil Momentum (pR)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Recoil Momentum (pR) is:

\[ pR = RV \cdot MG \]

Where:

Example

Let's say the recoil velocity (\( RV \)) is 10 m/s, and the mass of the gun (\( MG \)) is 5 kg. Using the formula:

\[ pR = 10 \cdot 5 \]

We get:

\[ pR = 10 \cdot 5 = 50 \text{ m/s*kg} \]

So, the Recoil Momentum (\( pR \)) is 50 m/s*kg.

What are the units for Recoil Momentum?

The most common units for Recoil Momentum are m/s*kg.
