The force applied to the cannonball and cannon is equal. The explosion inside the cannon will generate a pressure which will turn into a force on both cannonball and cannon. The cannon being heavier and fixed to the ground will move a bit, but the cannonball will be thrown away, fired.
Im not so sure but it should be the
instantaneous speed
Answer: A (Ft)
Explanation: The impulse experienced by the object equals the change in momentum of the object. In equation form, F • t = m • Δ v
4. The Coyote has an initial position vector of
.
4a. The Coyote has an initial velocity vector of
. His position at time
is given by the vector

where
is the Coyote's acceleration vector at time
. He experiences acceleration only in the downward direction because of gravity, and in particular
where
. Splitting up the position vector into components, we have
with


The Coyote hits the ground when
:

4b. Here we evaluate
at the time found in (4a).

5. The shell has initial position vector
, and we're told that after some time the bullet (now separated from the shell) has a position of
.
5a. The vertical component of the shell's position vector is

We find the shell hits the ground at

5b. The horizontal component of the bullet's position vector is

where
is the muzzle velocity of the bullet. It traveled 3500 m in the time it took the shell to fall to the ground, so we can solve for
:

The total work is
(mass of the elevator, kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (9.0 m) Joules .
