Yes, cannonballs weighing 67 lbs were used in historical cannon systems, especially in naval warfare and fortifications. The size and weight of cannonballs varied depending on the type of cannon and the intended use.

A 50 kg cannon ball is shot horizontally from a cannon at a speed of 80 ms. At this speed what will its kinetic energy be?

The kinetic energy of the cannon ball can be calculated using the formula KE = 1/2 * m * v^2, where m is the mass of the cannon ball (50 kg) and v is its velocity (80 m/s). Plugging in these values, you would find that the kinetic energy of the cannon ball is 160,000 Joules.


A cannon ball and a bowling ball were dropped at the same time from the top of a building At the instant before the balls hit the sidewalk the cannon ball had greater?

Momentum. Momentum is the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity. This is expressed as: p=mv where p is the momentum, m is the mass, and v is the velocity. Also, kinetic energy, as that is 1/2 m*v^2.


What difference in recoil would exppect to find in a hollow ball and a solid ball firing out of a cannon?

A solid ball would have more recoil compared to a hollow ball when fired out of a cannon. This is because the solid ball has more mass and thus more inertia, resulting in greater recoil force upon firing. The hollow ball, being lighter, would experience less recoil force due to its lower mass.


How much mass does a bowling ball have?

There are bowling balls with different masses. In general, if you weigh one of them, its mass is 1 pound-mass for each pound of weight on earth, or 1 kilogram for each 2.205 pounds of weight on earth. -- 6-lb ball . . . 6 pound-mass / 2.722 kilograms -- 12-lb ball . . . 12 pound-mass / 5.443 kilograms -- 14-lb ball . . . 14 pound-mass / 6.350 kilograms -- 15-lb ball . . . 15 pound-mass / 6.804 kilograms -- 16-lb ball . . . 16 pound-mass / 7.257 kilograms (all metric masses are rounded numbers)


What material are made out of a cannon ball?

Cannonballs are typically made from cast iron or steel. These materials are dense and strong enough to withstand the explosive force when fired from a cannon.
