Why does a cannon recoil when fired?
"For every action, there is an equal and oposite reaction." The cannonball is pushed out of the barrel at high speed. This pushes the cannon in the opposite direction. That is recoil. The heavier the cannonball, and the faster it is pushed, the more the cannon recoils.
Does a cannonball go faster if shot from a long cannon or a short one?
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.
When a cannon is fired will the cannon and cannon ball will have the same amount of kinetic energy?
No, the cannon and cannonball will not have the same amount of kinetic energy when the cannon is fired. The cannonball typically has more kinetic energy due to its higher velocity compared to the slower-moving cannon.
When a cannon is fired the cannon and cannon ball will have the same amount of kinetic energy?
No, the cannon will have less kinetic energy compared to the cannonball due to its smaller mass. Kinetic energy is proportional to an object's mass and velocity, so the faster and heavier cannonball will have more kinetic energy than the slower and lighter cannon.
As newtons first law is the part of newtons second law then why you study newtons first law?
Its a matter of being scientifically rigorous. You can not claim the 2nd law as a law unless you first establish the first law.
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 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.
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.
Why does a cannon recoil when fired?
"For every action, there is an equal and oposite reaction." The cannonball is pushed out of the barrel at high speed. This pushes the cannon in the opposite direction. That is recoil. The heavier the cannonball, and the faster it is pushed, the more the cannon recoils.
When a connon is fired how does the size of the foce of the cannon on the cannonballcompare with he force?
Both objects are acted on by the force of the expanding gases in the bore. The forces forward and backward have to be equal. The motion they produce ... the forward motion of the shot and the rearward motion of the cannon ... are in inverse proportion to their masses, so that the linear momentum after the shot is the same as the linear momentum before the shot, namely zero.
What nicknames did Cannonball Adderley go by?
Cannonball Adderley went by The New Bird, and Cannon.
What is an initial speed of a cannonball?
Depends on the cannon and the charge.
What are the definitions of cannons and casnonballs?
a cannon is the instrument use to propel a cannonball. A cannon ball is the missile which is propelled from a cannon.................
Will cannonball travel farther if shot from a longer cannon. why?
Yes, a cannonball will generally travel farther if shot from a longer cannon. A longer cannon gives the cannonball more time to accelerate and build momentum before exiting the barrel, resulting in a higher initial velocity and longer travel distance.
Why was Ledell Cannonball Titcomb nicknamed Cannonball?
the speed it moved at was very close to a cannonballs speed after leaving a cannon
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
Is cannon ball a hyphen word?
No it is one word: cannonball.
