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.
Does a cannonball go faster if shot from a long cannon or a short one?
The long barreled cannon allows a longer time for the explosive charge to act upon the cannonball, which increases its velocity, making it go farther. You could also say the distance of the force of the long barreled cannon is greater, which increases its velocity, making it go farther.
As newtons first law is the part of newtons second law then why you study newtons first law?
Its a matter of being scientifically rigorous. You can not claim the 2nd law as a law unless you first establish the first law.
Is newtons first law false?
no
What newtons 2nd law of motion?
newtons 2nd law states that if a force is put on an object then the object will move in the oppisite direction of the force no thats the third law

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
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
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?
