That could be an electromagnet,
and it could also be an solenoid.

Answer:
After the firing occurs, both the cannon and cannonball have the same momentum (big mass, small velocity vs. small mass, big velocity). But since the momentum for each is moving in the opposite direction, the momentums cancel out, causing the cannon-cannonball system's momentum to equal zero.
Explanation:
Answer:
1/4
Explanation:
The period of a simple pendulum is:
T = 2π √(L/g)
At half the period:
T/2
= π √(L/g)
= 2π √(L/(4g))
= 2π √((L/4)/g)
So the length would have to be shortened by a factor of 1/4.
