A cannonball fired horizontally and one dropped from the height of the muzzle
simultaneous with the shot will hit the ground at the same instant, provided
only that the ground under the muzzle and the ground where the shot lands
are at the same elevation, i.e. the shot was not fired off the edge of a cliff or
into the side of a mountain.
To solve this kind of problems, it often helps to separate the movement, or the speed, into vertical and horizontal components. In this case, the vertical component of the speed is the same.
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.
Incendiary simply means it's intended to burn or ignite fires. In the case of a cannonball, it would be designed to break up on impact and spread flammable material.
a cannon which fires... spoons!
Yes, "cannon" is a noun. It refers to a large, heavy piece of artillery that fires a projectile, typically seen in historical warfare.
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.
Ground fires. CO2 is heavier than our air and would therefore fall to the ground when released.
Touch the match to the fuse on the cannon and then click the button that fires out of it..
{| |- | Men who work with cannons are referred to as artillerymen. Cannoneers is another name sometimes used. In an artillery gun crew, the gun captain usually fires the weapon. |}
forest fires do not start on the ground. it's when the air is getting so hot that somehow ignites the trees. basically, you need fuel to create a fire. i bet the ground cannot be a fuel right?
yes it can cause fires because lighting finds the quickest route to the ground
The person who fires the cannon on a ship is typically referred to as the "gunner." The gunner is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the ship's artillery, ensuring that the cannons are fired accurately and safely during combat. In some naval contexts, this role may also encompass a broader responsibility for the ship's weapons systems.
Forest/brush fires.
