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.

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.

It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines or consult with an expert to determine the appropriate amount of gunpowder for a specific cannon.
