A 600.0 kg cannon stands on frictionless wheels and fires a 9.50 kg cannonball horizontally at 150. m/s. With what velocity does the cannon move after firing the ball ? Physics Momentum and Collisions Momentum and Impulse 1 Answer José Roberto Pereira Oct 22, 2015 #v=2.375# m/s Explanation: #m_1.v_1=m_2.v_2# #600.v_1 = 9.5xx150# #v_1=1425/600# #v_1=2.375# m/s Answer link Related questions Question #ce067 Question #13b3d If the velocity of an object doubles, does its momentum double? How can an impulse exerted on something be increased? How is impulse related to momentum? What are the units for impulse? Could an elephant have the same momentum as a golf ball? Can an object that is not moving have momentum? Is momentum conserved in an inelastic collision? How much momentum does a 1000 kg car traveling at 35 m/s have?
