What is the total momentum of cannon and shell before and after firing?
Before the cannon is fired, the momentum is zero. So, after firing, the momentum must still be zero. The momentum of the shell is equal and opposite to that of the cannon, because there is an action and an equal reaction force. Since the momentum difference must be equal: (mv)cannon = (mv)shell Thus, (mv)c - (mv)s = 0 A simple way of looking at it is this is: If the shell is 100 times lighter than the cannon then the shell will move off 100 times faster than the cannon recoils. Remember that, in explosions, the lighter portion moves off faster than the heavier one.
A shell is fired from the ground with an initial velocity of 1600m s at an angle of 64 to the horizontal What is the shells horizontal range?
If a shell is fired from the ground with velocity of 1600 m and an angle of 64 to the horizontal then it would have a horizontal rang of 55.0. This is considered math.
When throwing a ball straight up when is the velocity zero?
The velocity is zero when t=v0/g. This comes from velocity of the ball is v=v0-gt, where v0 is the velocity which the ball is thrown with, the initial velocity. The balls v velocity is the initial velocity v0 - the gravity velocity gt. when the real velocity is zero v= v0-gt=0. solving this for t gives when the velocity is zero.
What do you call an object being thrown?
Though often used to describe a shell fired from an artillery piece, projectile, can also describe a thrown object.
Why do the bullet and the capsule drop at the same time when the gun fires?
Your question is ambiguous, assuming by capsule you mean the shell casing then this is also not the case in every weapon. Shell casings are ejected when the weapon is fired if it is an automatic or semi-automatic weapon. Revolvers, for instance, do not eject the spent cartridges.

Why you must study escape velocity?
You don't. "Escape velocity" is a meaningless number. "Escape velocity" is the speed at which a CANNON SHELL must be fired in order to escape from the Earth's gravity well. With a powered rocket, you can "escape" from the Earth's gravity at ANY speed - as long as you have enough fuel.

How does the word shell relate to the civil war?
"Shell" is a term for a projectile fired from a cannon. Webster defines it as a hollow projectile that exploded. The verb usage meant to bombard an enemy with artillery.
What was the most powerful cannon in the civil war?
In portable cannon, possibly the Parrot rifled cannon. In cannon mounted in fixed positions, such as forts, possibly the Dahlgren cannons. There was also a very large bore mortar known as the Dictator that fired a 13 inch shell.
What is a breech of a cannon?
the cannon breach is where the artillery shell is inserted for firing...................
What is the name of the German Cannon that fired on Paris in World War 1?
The name of the German cannon that fired on Paris in World War 1 was the "Paris Gun" or "Kaiser Wilhelm Geschütz." It was a long-range artillery gun designed to shell targets from a distance of over 120 kilometers.
What is a 90mm cannon shell worth?
The value of a 90mm cannon shell varies by its condition. As of 2014 these shells sell at auction for around 50.00.
What was the biggest bullet ever made?
The US Battleship Iowa's 16" diameter barrel guns fired shells upwards of 2,700 pounds. The WW2 German Schwerer Gustav railway cannon fired shells upwards of 15,000 pounds. The Japanese battleship Yamamoto had 18 in guns and fired a 3300 lb shell.
What is pojectile in physics?
A projectile is any moving object which does not propel itself. For example a rocket burns fuel to propel itself through the sky whilst a shell fired from a cannon has no way to propel itself.
What is referred to when a gun is described as a 75 MM cannon?
75mm indicates the size of the shell being fired.
How large heavy and long is the largest object ever fired out a of a large gun?
Mallet's Mortar - Shell weight was between 2,352 and 2,940 pounds (1,067 and 1,334 kg). In testing with an 80-pound (36 kg) charge it fired the lighter shell a distance of 2,759 yards (2,523 m) with a flight time of 23 seconds - Cartridge weight 1.25 long tons (1.27 t) Calibre 36 in (914 mm) Calibre 36 in (914 mm) - Length is not specified.
