What is the total momentum of cannon and shell before and after firing?
Before the cannon is fired, the momentum is zero. So, after firing, the momentum must still be zero. The momentum of the shell is equal and opposite to that of the cannon, because there is an action and an equal reaction force. Since the momentum difference must be equal: (mv)cannon = (mv)shell Thus, (mv)c - (mv)s = 0 A simple way of looking at it is this is: If the shell is 100 times lighter than the cannon then the shell will move off 100 times faster than the cannon recoils. Remember that, in explosions, the lighter portion moves off faster than the heavier one.
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.
What is the speed of a cannon ball?
The speed of a cannonball can vary depending on factors such as the type of cannon used, the amount of gunpowder, and the angle of elevation. However, typical speeds for cannonballs fired from historic cannons ranged from 500 to 1,500 feet per second.
A soldier hears the sound of a distant cannon 6 seconds after he sees the flash How far away is the cannon?
Using the speed of sound at 20° C, which is 343 m/sec, the cannon would be 2058 meters away. Temperature, pressure, and humidity could all affect the actual speed.
What is the equation of average speed?
Average speed = Total distance / Total time

What is a cannon firing table?
A cannon firing table is a reference document that provides essential data for accurately aiming and firing artillery, such as cannons. It typically includes information on factors like projectile type, charge weight, elevation angles, wind conditions, and the range of fire. By using this table, artillery crews can make precise calculations to ensure effective targeting and maximize the cannon's performance in various conditions.
Are howitzers cannons?
It is a type of cannon with a relatively short barrel, capable of firing at high angles.
