The average distance a Civil War cannonball could travel varied depending on the type of cannon and ammunition used, but it typically ranged from 1,000 to 2,000 yards (about 0.57 to 1.14 miles). Some more powerful cannons could achieve even greater ranges, potentially exceeding 2,500 yards under optimal conditions. Factors such as the angle of elevation, type of powder, and terrain also influenced the distance traveled.

What was the first weapon to be shot in the civil war?
The very first weapon fired was a ceremonial cannon from The Citadel. Cadets from the college dragged the cannon out to the waterfront where South Carolina militia were threatening to fire on Fort Sumter. The cadets fired on the fort and the Union forces fired back. The militia joined in and managed to set the fort afire. One Union soldier was killed. The fort surrendered, marking the beginning of the war. The Citadel cadets today remain proud of starting the shooting in the Civil War.
How many cannon were on a caravel?
All caravels, from the reign of King Joao II (1481), carried cannon on deck, in place of the previous hand-held, light-caliber artillery. However, there were two, three and four-masted caravels, with a large variation in size, so the the number of cannon, in turn, would vary greatly. It is therefore inpossible to say: "A caravel carried X number of cannon," but it probably varied between two and eight.
How far is it from the roman colosseum to calvery hill?
The distance from Rome to Jerusalem is roughly 1426 miles. So that would be an estimate of the distance between the Colosseum and what is thought to be Calvary.The distance from Rome to Jerusalem is roughly 1426 miles.

How are cannonballs made?
The majority of the cannon balls would have been made of cast iron. Some might have been some made with steel. Hollow ones where filled with gunpowder and had a fuze that would make it explode at some point.
Truman did enough to promote civil rights?
No. If he had there would have not been a need for the 1964 civil rights act.
What was the average distance a soldier would walk in the civil war?
That depends on how long the soldier lived for on the battlefield.
How heavy was the gun powder for the cannons?
Depends on the cannon- the bigger the diameter of the barrel, the more powder it would take. A cannon of the type used as mobile artillery during the American Civil War would use an average of 2-5 lbs of powder per shot, depending on the size, and type of projectile.
If you cover a given distance in a moment that would be your average speed true or false?
Average speed = distance/time
What is the driving time from vancouverbc to cannon beach?
The total distance is 340miles. The journey would take about 6 hours and 2 minutes.
How would you find the average speed of an object?
To find the average speed of an object, you would divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken to travel that distance. This will give you the average speed of the object over a specific period.
How to calculate the average speed of a bus?
To calculate the average speed of a bus, you would need to determine the total distance traveled by the bus and the total time it took to cover that distance. Divide the total distance by the total time to get the average speed. This formula is Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time.
Is speed the distance that has been traveled?
No. The average speed would be the distance traveled divided by the elapsed time.
How many average speed in 60m?
To calculate average speed, you would need the total time taken to cover the distance. If we have the time taken, we can divide the distance traveled by the time taken to get the average speed. Without the time taken, we cannot calculate the average speed in this case.
What is the driving distance from cannon beach to Portland?
The driving distance between Portland, OR and Cannon Beach, OR is 80 miles. The driving time would be approximately 2 hours if driving non-stop in good conditions. (The driving time does not take into consideration conditions such as weather, road work and rush hour traffic in urban areas.)
If distance is increased but time remains the same what would happen to your average speed?
The average spped increase
What would happen if someone built a cannon that weighed as the cannon ball?
The cannon would want to move backwards with the same speed as the ball wants to move forward.
How are cannon balls made you read in the paper that a man was killed when an old cannon ball blew up?
Cannon balls would not blow up. The newspaper must have gotten something wrong - maybe they meant to say a mine blew up. Cannon balls are solid metal - they do damage when the cannon blows them out at high speed like a bullet. Cannon balls can explode, during the civil war era cannon balls were in use that were just a hallow shell of metal and had gun powder and pieces of metal on the inside an di fuse was placed in the cannon ball and when fired the fuse would ignite and then would burn the fuse and ignite the gun powder inside the cannon ball. There were also some cannon balls that would explode on impact using friction strips on the inside that would create a spark and ignite the gun powder on the inside. So yes cannon balls can explode, the type of cannon ball the person above me is referring to is called solid shot, there are a lot other types out there like cannister, and grape shot, and connical shaped rounds and even hexagonal shaped rounds just to name a few, but yes cannon balls can explode
