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.

Does a cannon ball fly straight when fired?
No, a cannonball does not fly straight when fired. The force of gravity will cause the cannonball to follow a parabolic trajectory, curving downward towards the ground due to the effects of gravity. The angle at which the cannon is fired will also affect the trajectory of the cannonball.
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.
A human cannonball with a mass of 80kg is fired out of a cannon with a force of 2400n. What is the acceleration?
The acceleration of the human cannonball can be calculated using Newton's second law, which states that Force = mass * acceleration. In this case, the force is 2400N and the mass is 80kg, so the acceleration is 30 m/s^2.
If the force that propels a cannonball forwad is 500N how much force will move the cannon backward?
The forces are equal in both directions. The momentum of the shot is also equal to the momentum of the cannon in the other direction. The backward velocity of the cannon is: (forward velocity of the shot) times (mass of the shot) divided by (mass of the cannon).
When a cannonball is fired is momentum conserved for the cannonball system as a whole?
Yes, momentum is always conserved in a system unless acted upon by an external force. When a cannonball is fired, the momentum of the cannonball system as a whole remains constant because the momentum of the cannonball is equal and opposite to the momentum of the recoil of the cannon.
Does a cannon ball fly straight when fired?
No, a cannonball does not fly straight when fired. The force of gravity will cause the cannonball to follow a parabolic trajectory, curving downward towards the ground due to the effects of gravity. The angle at which the cannon is fired will also affect the trajectory of the cannonball.

If a cannon ball is fired from a cannon pointed parallel to the ground with enough force the cannon ball will?
If fired fast enough, it can either begin orbit (unless/until it hits something else that stops it), or escape Earth's gravity and begin travel through space (again, until it hits something).
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 was Cannon Air Force Base created?
Cannon Air Force Base was created in 1943.
What is the airport code for Cannon Air Force Base?
The airport code for Cannon Air Force Base is CVS.

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.
If the force that propels the cannonball forward is 500N how much force will move the cannon backward?
According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, the force that will move the cannon backward will also be 500N.
Is normal force a contact force?
Because like a cannon when the cannon ball comes out the cannon goes forward that's reaction force. Normal force is where the force does not use a ton of force so you don't see it react.
