A revolutionary war cannon with a mass

Reference no: EM13647941

A revolutionary war cannon, with a mass of 2270 kg, fires a 16.5 kgball horizontally. The cannonball has a speed of 137 m/s after it has left the barrel.When the cannon was free to move across the ground (ignorefriction), the velocity of the cannon after firing was .98863 m/sin the opposite direction. If the same charge was used, how much faster would the ball travel if the cannon were mounted rigidly andall other parameters remained the same?
