Why would a cannon with a longer barrel give the cannonball more momentum?
A longer barrel allows the cannonball to be in contact with the expanding gases for a longer period of time, resulting in a greater acceleration and higher muzzle velocity. This increased velocity translates to greater momentum for the cannonball.
A cannonball shot from a cannon with a long barrel will have a greater muzzle velocity because the cannonball receives a greater what?
Gunpowder burns, heat and pressure rise, ball accelerates Guns are designed so that the potential of the gunpowder is translated into momentum of the cannonball, if you hold the barrel diameter and cannonball size the same, the only way to increase the momentum (and velocity) is to apply the gunpowder force (pressure) for longer, this means: 1) A longer barrel 2) More gunpowder
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.
Why is the speed of a cannonball greater when shot from a cannon with a longer barrel?
The energy needed to move a cannonball is created by burning fuel--usually gunpowder but nothing says they couldn't make a cannon that burned propane to fire projectiles. Anyway, if you're firing a round the speed of that cannonball is determined in part by how long the energy's being applied to it. The longer the barrel is, the longer the energy will be applied and the faster the cannonball will go.
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.
Where is the barrel of explosive powder?
it is in time tangled i cant tell you where im sorry
Modern warfare 2 tips?
if u go to team deathmatch use the at4 on afghan and u could get a triple kill in one of the two huts because the exploding rocket and exploding barrel
Will cannonball travel farther if shot from a longer cannon. why?
Yes, a cannonball will generally travel farther if shot from a longer cannon. A longer cannon gives the cannonball more time to accelerate and build momentum before exiting the barrel, resulting in a higher initial velocity and longer travel distance.
What does it mean when you see a pole protruding from the cannon barrel?
There are 3 times that a pole would be in a cannon barrel:First to swab the cannon barrel of debris from previous firing,To ram down the cartridge,Finally to ram down the cannonball.
What type of weapon is firearm?
Any weapon that discharges a projectile by means of igniting an explosive charge to drive it out of a barrel.
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
What sound does a cannon makes?
A cannon typically makes a loud booming sound when it is fired. This sound is due to the release of compressed gas propelling the cannonball out of the barrel at high speed.
