The bullet and gun have equal momenta in opposite directions, so the system's momentum is conserved.

According to the principle of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of the initial momenta must be equal to the sum of the final momenta.

The principle of conservation of momentum is written as;

[tex]m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2[/tex]

where;

  • m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the bullet and gun respectively
  • u₁ and u₂ are the initial velocity of bullet and gun respectively
  • v₁ and v₂ are the final velocity of bullet and gun respectively

Thus, we can conclude that the bullet and gun have equal momenta in opposite directions, so the system's momentum is conserved.
