If you were a spaceship and fired a cannonball into frictionless space how much force would have to be exerted on the ball to keep on going?

none. because of Newton's first law. that an object in motion is going to stay in motion (cannonball) until and outside force is acted upon it. So in theory it could be a meteor or black hole that changes its course of direction, but in this case, the cannonball would travel 'infinitely.

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.


If a cannon fires a cannonball horizontally and you drop a cannonball at the same time which will hit the ground first?

A cannonball fired horizontally and one dropped from the height of the muzzle simultaneous with the shot will hit the ground at the same instant, provided only that the ground under the muzzle and the ground where the shot lands are at the same elevation, i.e. the shot was not fired off the edge of a cliff or into the side of a mountain. To solve this kind of problems, it often helps to separate the movement, or the speed, into vertical and horizontal components. In this case, the vertical component of the speed is the same.
