In principle, when you fire a rifle, the recoil should push you backward. How big a push will it give? Let's find out by doing a calculation in a very artificial situation. Suppose a man standing on frictionless ice fires a rifle horizontally. The mass of the man together with the rifle is 70 kg, and the mass of the bullet is 10 g. For the steps and strategies involved in solving a similar problem, you may view a Video Tutor Solution.
