Are the forces balanced or unbalanced when a cannonball is fired parallel to the ground?
Yes, the forces are balanced if the explosives in the cannon, the cannon and the cannon ball are all included in the system. The Echem is transferred to Eint in the form of heat from friction as the cannonball rubs the inside of the cannon barrel, and Ev in the form of vector motion of both the cannonball moving forward and the cannon kicking backwards. Therefor, no energy enters or leaves the system
What direction will a cannon go when you fire the cannonball?
It would depend on what the angle is, what it is deflected off, and if its all straight then.... South
What are forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction?
An example would be a book placed on a table. The book's weight is acting perpendicular to the table and the reaction of the table on the book is also acting perpendicular to the table, but both thse forces are opposite in direction and equal in magnitude, the reasons the book and the table are satble and in equilibrium
When was Newton Cannon born?

How many brothers and sisters did Annie Jump Cannon have?
Annie Jump Cannon had 2 sisters.
If the force that propels a cannonball forwad is 500N how much force will move the cannon backward?
The forces are equal in both directions. The momentum of the shot is also equal to the momentum of the cannon in the other direction. The backward velocity of the cannon is: (forward velocity of the shot) times (mass of the shot) divided by (mass of the cannon).
When a connon is fired how does the size of the foce of the cannon on the cannonballcompare with he force?
Both objects are acted on by the force of the expanding gases in the bore. The forces forward and backward have to be equal. The motion they produce ... the forward motion of the shot and the rearward motion of the cannon ... are in inverse proportion to their masses, so that the linear momentum after the shot is the same as the linear momentum before the shot, namely zero.

What nicknames did Cannonball Adderley go by?

What is an initial speed of a cannonball?
Depends on the cannon and the charge.
What are the definitions of cannons and casnonballs?
a cannon is the instrument use to propel a cannonball. A cannon ball is the missile which is propelled from a cannon.................
Why does a cannon recoil when fired?
"For every action, there is an equal and oposite reaction." The cannonball is pushed out of the barrel at high speed. This pushes the cannon in the opposite direction. That is recoil. The heavier the cannonball, and the faster it is pushed, the more the cannon recoils.
When a cannonball is fired is momentum conserved for the cannon cannonball system?
Yes. read your text book, student :) -J.J.
Why was Ledell Cannonball Titcomb nicknamed Cannonball?
the speed it moved at was very close to a cannonballs speed after leaving a cannon
Is cannon ball a hyphen word?
No it is one word: cannonball.
Will cannonball travel farther if shot from a longer cannon. why?
Yes, because the longer cannon have more energy.
Can you shoot a squirrel out of a cannon as a substitute for a cannon ball?
No, you cannot shoot a squirrel out of a cannon as a substitute for a cannonball. The squirrel will disintegrate very quickly.
