The long barreled cannon allows a longer time for the explosive charge to act upon the cannonball, which increases its velocity, making it go farther. You could also say the distance of the force of the long barreled cannon is greater, which increases its velocity, making it go farther.
What else can I help you with?
Why when a long range cannon is fired toward the equator from a northern latitude it lands west in its intended longitude?
This is due to the Earth's rotation causing a Coriolis effect, which deflects the trajectory of moving objects. As the cannonball travels towards the equator from a northern latitude, it retains some of the eastward velocity from the Earth's rotation, causing it to land west of its intended longitude.
What you volcano be long or short vowel?
o-short/a-long
A female with a paternal set of one orange and one long gene chromosomes and a maternal set comprised of one blue and one short gene chromosome is expected to produce what types of e?
The offspring are expected to produce both combination of long orange chromosomes from the father and short blue chromosomes from the mother. The possible combinations in the offspring could include long orange/short blue, long orange/short orange, long blue/short orange, or long blue/short blue.
What is characterized by long winters and short cold summers?
This is characterized by long winters and short cold summers
What burns faster a short fat candle or thin long candle and why?
A long candle because the flame won't melt on the edge so it wont burn that, and the wax in the middle gets too deep and the fire goes out due to lack of oxygen. A long and thin one uses all the wax and since it so thin it burns faster.
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.
Is cannonball one word?
It is one word in some colloquial meanings, as when truckers refer to a long unbroken drive as a 'cannonball'. In the naval sense it is still cannon ball.
Which fires the farthest a long or short cannon?
A long cannon fires farther than a short cannon due to the longer barrel allowing for a longer distance through which the projectile can accelerate and gain velocity. This results in a higher muzzle velocity and longer range for the long cannon compared to a short one.
Was there an old TV show called cannonball?
There was a TV series called "Cannon", A movie called "Cannonball Run" and a train called Cannonball on the TV series "Petticoat Junction". Cannonball was an old TV show about long distance truckers Mike Malone and Gerry Austin starring Paul Birch. 39 episodes were shot in Canada in 1958 and 1959.
Which is faster long bow or short bow?
A short bow is faster
Does a long fish swim faster than short fish?
i think that a short one swims faster
A cannonball shot from a cannon with a long barrel will have a greater muzzle velocity because the cannonball receives a greater what?
Gunpowder burns, heat and pressure rise, ball accelerates Guns are designed so that the potential of the gunpowder is translated into momentum of the cannonball, if you hold the barrel diameter and cannonball size the same, the only way to increase the momentum (and velocity) is to apply the gunpowder force (pressure) for longer, this means: 1) A longer barrel 2) More gunpowder
What is a name for a short cannon?
A short cannon is often referred to as a "culverin." Culverins were popular in the 16th and 17th centuries and were characterized by their long barrels and relatively lightweight design, making them easier to maneuver. Another term used for a shorter type of cannon is "howitzer," which is designed to fire shells at high angles.
Why does wind turbines have long blades when short blades go faster?
Long Blades Catch More Wind Then Short Blades
When was handguns made?
So long ago, we do not have exact records. The first primitive cannon were from about 1000 years ago. In the 1200's, short firearms called "hand cannon" were carried into battle.
Which plants' flowers produce seeds faster short-dayplants or long-day plants?
short day plants
Does short cut grass grow faster than long grass?
yes
