A loaded spring gun of mass

M

fires a bullet of mass

m

with a velocity

v

at an angle of elevation

\theta

. The gun is initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. After firing, the center of mass of the gun-bullet system

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

moves with velocity

\left(\frac{m v \sin \theta}{M+m}\right)

The correct answer is D because the center of mass moves only in the y-direction after firing, and its velocity is given by the conservation of momentum in the y-direction.
