When a cannon is fired will the cannon and cannon ball will have the same amount of kinetic energy?

Yes, both have the same energy, but because cannon is heavier the cannon ball gets more momentum and thus greater velocity.

When a cannon is fired the cannon and cannon ball will have the same amount of kinetic energy?
No they won't. But they'll have the same momentum, in opposite directions.
Does kinetic energy always convert back into gravitational potential energy?
If you stood at the top of a building with a bottle rocket and aimed it straight at the ground and fired it, it's kinetic energy would exceed it's initial gravitational potential energy. It's kinetic energy would equal the acceleration due to gravity plus the energy of the rocket thrust minus any resistance to air as a result of it's shape.
What was the nuclear cannon at the end of the film?
Perhaps it was the M65 atomic cannon, a 280 mm towed gun that fired a nuclear tipped projectile.
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.
When particles are heated do they increase or decrease?
When air is heated its density decreases when we heat air the gas molecules get excited and get kinetic energy due to which they collide with one another and after each collision they scatter in different directions due to which their density decreases.I am sure you will be satisfied.Be sure yo open www.alislam.org for more knowledge.

A 3 kg cannon ball is fired from a cannon with a velocity of 90 ms what is the kinetic energy of the cannon ball?
1.2 x 10^4 J That is in Significant Figures
What are the energy transformations when a gun is fired?
There are a few energy transformations when a gun is fired. Some of these include potential to kinetic energy, chemical to mechanical energy, and chemical to electromagnetic energy.
When a bullet is fired upwards vertically it gains?
When a bullet is fired upwards vertically it gains kinetic energy.
How can energy be kinetic?
If you fired a bullet vertically upward, it would have kinetic energy at first, when it gets to the top of its travel this would all have been converted to potential energy.
How the energy is transferred as a catapult is fired?
The energy stored in the stretched rubber (or elastic) is converted into the kinetic energy of the missile.
When a buulet is fired upward verticallyit gains in?
It will gain potential energy, while losing kinetic energy.
How do you convert potential energy into kinetic?
If you fired a bullet vertically upward, it would have kinetic energy at first, when it gets to the top of its travel this would all have been converted to potential energy.
When a bullet is fired from a rifle?
d) they have the same momentum,but the bullet has greater kinetic energy the the rifle
A 60 gram bullet is fired from a gun with 3150 joule of kinetic energy what is its velocity?
A 60 gram bullet fired from a gun with 3150 joules of kinetic energy has a velocity of 324.04 meters per second or 1,063.12 feet per second. (This is about 725mph).
When a bullet is fired from a rifle does the bullet have a greater momentum and kinetic energy than the rifle?
The momenta of the rifle and the bullet are equal and opposite. The bullet has greater kinetic energy than the rifle.
What kind of energy is a speeding bullet?
It is KINETIC energy- mass in motion. Prior to being fired, the cartridge has POTENTIAL energy- stored, but not released (yet)
