A gun of mass M fires a shell S of mass m with a muzzle velocity \mathbf{v}_{S G}=\mathbf{v}_0 relative to the gun barrel G, at an elevation angle α in the ground frame \Phi=\left\{F ; \mathbf{I}_k\right\} in Fig. 8.1. The gun carriage C is mounted on a greased horizontal track. (a) Find the instantaneous recoil velocity \mathbf{v}_{G F} of the gun (i.e. the center of mass of the gun assembly ). (b) Compare the magnitude v of the instantaneous, absolute muzzle velocity \mathbf{V}_{S F} of the shell in \Phi with its relative value v_0. (c) What is the instantaneous impulsive reaction exerted by the track on the gun carriage?
