I need help. A cannon at rest fires a 32.5 kg cannonball forward at 388 m/s. After firing, the cannon recoils at 7.42 m/s. What is the mass of the cannon?
(Unit = kg)
Remember: right is +, left is -

neither accurate nor precise.

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.

the answer is 100. i just did this lesson and got a 100% on it. : )
