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 -

a longitudinal wave moves energy that is to the direction of the wave’s movement. - true

i'm on my way to history not a mistory.

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
