The formula to calculate the Recoil Momentum (pR) is:
pR=RV⋅MG
Where:
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⋅5
We get:
pR=10⋅5=50 m/s*kg
So, the Recoil Momentum (pR) is 50 m/s*kg.
The most common units for Recoil Momentum are m/s*kg.
