A battleship that is 9.00 10 kg and is originally at rest fires a 1100-kg artillery shell horizontally with a velocity of 425 m/s. (a) If the shell is fired straight aft (toward the rear of the ship), there will be negligible friction opposing the ship's recoll. Calculate its recoll velocity in meters per second. m/s (b) Calculate the increase in internal kinetic energy in joules (that is, for the ship and the shell). This energy is less than the energy released by the gun powder - significant heat transfer occurs
