none.

because of Newton's first law. that an object in motion is going to stay in motion (cannonball) until and outside force is acted upon it. So in theory it could be a meteor or black hole that changes its course of direction, but in this case, the cannonball would travel 'infinitely.

What are examples for using trajectory in a sentence?

We calculated the trajectory of the cannonball before we fired it.


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


A bullet is fired into a block that is initially at rest at the edge of a frictionless table The bullet remians in the block and after impact the block lands a distance from the bottom of the table?

What are you asking? This is the worst question I've ever seen. If your question is "is the block at a distance from the bottom of the table?". If so yes. If the table is frictionless, as well as the box, it doesn't matter if the box is at the edge. It will literally, assuming there wasn't gravity, go on forever.


Where does a bullet goes after fired to the sky?

When a bullet is fired into the sky, it will eventually stop becasue it has run out of energy and fall back to the ground.


Does a bullet of the same caliber travel faster if fired through a rifle rather than a pistol?

a bullet of the same caliber and same grains of powder fired from a long barrel will have a higher muzzle velocity than if fired from a short barrel.

After a cannonball is fired into frictionless space the amount of force needed to keep it going is?

Once a cannonball is fired into frictionless space, no additional force is needed to keep it moving at a constant velocity. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object in motion will remain in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force.


Which will fly farther a cannonball fired on earth or a cannonball fired on the moon?

The moon has no atmosphere and has less gravity than the earth. That means that a cannonball fired on the moon will travel further.


When a cannonball is fired is momentum conserved for the cannonball system as a whole?

Yes, momentum is always conserved in a system unless acted upon by an external force. When a cannonball is fired, the momentum of the cannonball system as a whole remains constant because the momentum of the cannonball is equal and opposite to the momentum of the recoil of the cannon.


Does a cannon ball fly straight when fired?

No, a cannonball does not fly straight when fired. The force of gravity will cause the cannonball to follow a parabolic trajectory, curving downward towards the ground due to the effects of gravity. The angle at which the cannon is fired will also affect the trajectory of the cannonball.


What happened to the guy who applied for the job of human cannonball at the circus?

he was hired and fired on the same day


How is a cannonball fired?

throught the use of pressure/fire/gun powder


What are examples for using trajectory in a sentence?

We calculated the trajectory of the cannonball before we fired it.


How did the human cannonball lose his job?

He got fired! ha! ha! ha!


How does a cannonball work?

A cannonball is fired by a cannon due to the buildup of pressure behind it when ignited. The explosion of gunpowder causes the cannonball to be propelled out of the cannon at high speed. The trajectory and distance the cannonball travels is influenced by factors such as the angle of the cannon and the amount of gunpowder used.


How can one identify a stone cannonball?

A stone cannonball can be identified by its round shape, smooth surface, and heavy weight. It may also have markings or indentations from being fired from a cannon.


When a cannonball is fired is momentum conserved for the cannon cannonball system?

Yes, momentum is conserved in the cannon-cannonball system. When the cannon fires the cannonball, the cannon moves in the opposite direction to conserve momentum. This is based on the principle of conservation of momentum in a closed system.


What will happen if you fired a cannonball into my tree with my bird house hanging from one of the branches and a bird was sleeping in it?

It will awaken the bird.
