Calculate Recoil Momentum (pR)



Formula

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

pR=RVMG

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=105

We get:

pR=105=50 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.
