The law of Conservation of Energy
... The Kinetic Energy gained is: ∑F·s, where s is the displacement. During the period of interaction between the bullet and the rifle, ∆t, the bullet travelled much farther than the rifle, so the bullet acquires much greater kinetic energy than the rifle. Work is ∑F·s, so the bullet does more work than ...
