The death of a tribute.
that a tribute died
The cannons shoot every time a tribute within the arena dies.
They shot the Hunger Games all over North Carolina. They haven't shot it in the Amazon... yet.
Not by a long shot.
She was shot with an arrow.
Ashville, North Carolina is where they shot all of the scenes during the games and I am pretty sure for the rest of the movie :) (kinda a geek about the hunger games)
Marvel, the boy who stabbed Rue with a spear.
a cannon ball
no, he was being attacked by them and katniss shot him so he would not suffer.
the explosion of gunpowder behind it propells it out of the cannon.
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).
Cannon balls are made of iron, which is a high-stress material. A high-stress material resists breaking. Because the cannon has an open end, and the iron ball resists being torn apart, the cannon ball is shot out instead.
sure, why not?
