Before firing, the total momentum of the cannon and shell is zero because they are at rest. After firing, the total momentum remains zero due to the conservation of momentum – the cannon recoils in one direction with momentum equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the shell’s momentum.
The kinetic energy of the cannon ball can be calculated using the formula KE = 1/2 * m * v^2, where m is the mass of the cannon ball (50 kg) and v is its velocity (80 m/s). Plugging in these values, you would find that the kinetic energy of the cannon ball is 160,000 Joules.
Average speed = Total distance / Total time
The speed of a cannonball can vary depending on factors such as the type of cannon used, the amount of gunpowder, and the angle of elevation. However, typical speeds for cannonballs fired from historic cannons ranged from 500 to 1,500 feet per second.
Using the speed of sound at 20° C, which is 343 m/sec, the cannon would be 2058 meters away. Temperature, pressure, and humidity could all affect the actual speed.
They were hoping the firing of the cannon would bring Huck's body to the surface of the river.

the cannon breach is where the artillery shell is inserted for firing...................
The ferry boat was firing the cannon to get the attention of a nearby steamboat and warn them about a potential collision. It was a way to alert the other boat and prevent an accident on the river.

it got burned by firing cannon balls at it

Molly Pitcher originally just carried water for the soldiers. During the battle her husband was wounded while firing a cannon. Molly ran over and took over the cannon and began firing and loading the cannon.
THey fire the cannon every time someone dies
It is a type of cannon with a relatively short barrel, capable of firing at high angles.
Before firing, the total momentum of the cannon and shell is zero because they are at rest. After firing, the total momentum remains zero due to the conservation of momentum – the cannon recoils in one direction with momentum equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the shell’s momentum.
