    As a Gunsmith, this is a lot easier visual explanation than making a bidirectional rocket motor fire at the same time while trying to explain how "Recoilless Rifles" work. I love your content and simplified explanations so even young kids can understand! Keep up the amazing work!

    You get some motion, briefly, because the moving components of the device are not equal in mass. And then it jerks back into place because the carriage smacks to a halt, and equilibrium is maintained.
    And this is why I'm bad at tests, overthinking it.

      Dunno why I thought the relative mass matters, oh well. It will still jerk because the carriage itself is effectively a projectile, temporarily.

      It’s totally okay to not get these quizzes fully correct the first time around! Thank you for commenting your answers and your thought processes!
