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.
Answer:
<em>500Joules</em>
Explanation:
Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²
m is the mass of the wood
v is the velocity
Given
Mass = 10kg
Velocity v = 10m/s
Substitute into the formula and get KE
KE = 1/2 * 10 * 10²
KE = 1/2 * 1000
KE = 500Joules
<em>Hence the kinetic energy of the wood during delivery is 500Joules</em>
