The recoil speed of the cannon is 3 m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Law of conservation of momentum is used to find the recoil speed of the cannon.

m₁v₁ = -m₂v₂

m₁= mass of clown = 100 kg

v₁ = speed of the clown = 15 m/s

m₂= mass of the cannon = 500 kg

v₂ = speed of the cannon = ?

Plugin the values, we will get,

v₂ = m₁v₁ / -m₂ = -100×15/ 500 = -1500 / 500   = 3 m/s

So the recoil speed of the cannon is 3 m/s.

4. SEP Construct Explanations What type(s) of energy
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

it is below pls give 5 star

Explanation:

Foods contain stored potential energy in the form of chemical energy. When we consume food, the particles undergo a chemical reaction that releases the chemical energy. In turn, this energy is used by the body to perform its daily activities.

Therefore, when you eat a bowl of vegetable soup, you get the chemical energy that is stored in it.
