When you fire a cannon and the cannonball flies out of the barrel what does the cannon do?

When a cannon is fired and the cannonball is propelled out of the barrel, the cannon experiences an equal and opposite reaction due to Newton's third law of motion. This means that while the cannonball moves forward, the cannon itself recoils backward. The force generated by the explosion of the gunpowder pushes the cannonball out, resulting in the recoil of the cannon. This recoil can cause the cannon to move slightly backward and may require stabilization to maintain its position.

How was a cannon fired?

A cannon was fired by first priming the touch hole with gunpowder, then loading a projectile, such as a cannonball, followed by adding more gunpowder as a charge. The cannon was then aimed, and the fuse or a lit wick was used to ignite the gunpowder in the touch hole or the cannon’s main charge. This ignition created a rapid expansion of gases, which propelled the projectile out of the barrel with significant force. Fire safety and proper positioning were crucial to ensure the safety of the crew operating the cannon.
