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 did the cannon worked?
A cannon works by using the rapid expansion of gases from ignited gunpowder to propel a projectile, typically a cannonball, out of its barrel. When the gunpowder ignites, it creates a high-pressure gas that forces the projectile forward through the barrel. The design of the cannon, including the shape and length of the barrel, helps to maximize the projectile's speed and distance. The cannon is fired by igniting the gunpowder using a fuse or ignition system.
