Question

A cannon of mass 100 kg is kept on a frictionless floor. If a cannon ball of mass 1 kg is fired fromt it with a speed of 200 m/s. with that velocity the cannon will move ? explain in detail thanks

Answer 1

AS we know Force is equal to Mass multiplied by Speed. so when the cannon is fired due to newtons 3rd law of motion the cannon rebounds at the speed same as it was fired as der is no friction to oppose the reacting force
