a boy is watching his grandfather fire an old cannon. he noticed that whenever the cannon is fired it moves with a very high velocity to the right. he also noticed when the cannon ball was fired the cannon ball moved very slowly to the left. how does conservation of momentum explain these observations?  

A. The total momentum of the system was zero before the cannon was fired, so the cannonball and cannon must have equal and opposite momentum. Since the cannon has much more mass, it will have a smaller velocity.

B .The cannon gave momentum to the cannon ball, so they both begin to move. Since the cannon has much more mass, it will have a smaller momentum.

C. Since the motions of the cannon and cannon ball were caused by the same event, they must have equal and opposite momentum. Since the cannon has much more mass, it will have a larger velocity.

D. The cannon gave momentum to the cannon ball, so they both began to move. Since the cannonball has much less mass, it wit have a smaller momentum.

D. The cannon gave momentum to the cannon ball, so they both began to move. Since the cannonball has much less mass, it wit have a smaller momentum.

What is true about the Forces and acceleration on each

5000kg truck exerts a greater force on the 1000kg car, but the acceleration will be same.

5000kg truck exerts a greater force on the 1000kg car, but the 5000kg truck will get a greater acceleration.

Since they are moving with a constant velocity, the Forces on each of them are equal. But the 1000kg car will have greater acceleration since it has less mass.

Both Forces and acceleration are equal


Both Forces and acceleration are equal
