1.2 x 10^4 J That is in Significant Figures
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).
Watch your velocity! The velocity delivered by the cannon determines the distance that the human cannonball will fly.
Momentum. Momentum is the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity. This is expressed as: p=mv where p is the momentum, m is the mass, and v is the velocity. Also, kinetic energy, as that is 1/2 m*v^2.
Any object that has velocity has a type of energy known as kinetic energy - i.e., energy of movement. However, there are other types of energy that are not directly related to velocity.
Yes, both have the same energy, but because cannon is heavier the cannon ball gets more momentum and thus greater velocity.

The answer depends on how far the hill is from the location of the cannon.
No. This is because velocity is not a mechanical energy.

Mass and Velocity
Any object that has velocity has a type of energy known as kinetic energy - i.e., energy of movement. However, there are other types of energy that are not directly related to velocity.
Cannon balling into a swimming pool. Curl up into a ball and jump in with the most velocity you can reach.
They have chambers that convert pressure energy into velocity energy.
