40 seconds I’m pretty sure sorry if I’m wrong
Answer:
thick wire and cold temperatures
C) total linear momentum of the ball and cannon is conserved.
Basically it happens that in the beginning before there is a momentum acting on the two bodies, these are a unique system. Here the total momentum of the System is 0. However, when the positive momentum of the cannonball is added, the system will be immediately affected by a negative momentum which will pull back the cannon. Could this be extrapolated as a condition of Newton's third law.
Depends on how far away the event is and what the temperature is as this affects the speed of sound.
For example, let's say you're 600 meters away and the temperature has no affect.
The speed of sound would be roughly 340 m/s so the time it would take to hear the sound would be 600/340 = 1.76 seconds
The speed of light (c) is 3.0 X 10^8 m/s so the time it would take to see the event would be 600/3 X 10^8 = 2 X 10^-7
Subtract: 1.76 - (2 X 10^-7) = approx. 1.76
