-To find the force acting on the shoulder of the shooter me need to know  $V_G$  in order to find change in momentum for the gun and relate this to the force using  $\vec{F}_{net} = \dfrac{\Delta\vec{p}}{\Delta t}$
+To find the force acting on the shoulder of the shooter me need to know  $V_G$  in order to find change in momentum for the gun and relate this to the force using  $\vec{F}_{net} = \dfrac{\Delta\vec{p}}{\Delta t}$ . Rearrange the previous equation.
  $V_G = {\dfrac{-m_s}{M_G}} V_S$
+Fill in the values for the corresponding variables.
  $V_G = - {\dfrac{0.22kg}{3.5kg}}{500m/s} = -31.4m/s$
-Need to find what kind of force that is on your shoulder.
+Use the value found for  $V_G$  to find the change in momentum and hence find what kind of force that is on your shoulder.
  $\vec{F}_{net} = \dfrac{\Delta\vec{p}}{\Delta t}$
+Fill in values for known variables.
  $\vec{F}_{net} =\dfrac{(3.5kg)(-31.4m/s + 0m/s)}{(1/24s)}$
