Answer:
25 m/s in the opposite direction with the ship recoil velocity.
Explanation:
Assume the ship recoil velocity and velocity of the cannon ball aligns. By the law of momentum conservation, the momentum is conserved before and after the shooting. Before the shooting, the total momentum is 0 due to system is at rest. Therefore, the total momentum after the shooting must also be 0:

where
are masses of the ship and ball respectively.
are the velocities of the ship and ball respectively, after the shooting.



So the cannon ball has a velocity of 25 m/s in the opposite direction with the ship recoil velocity.
Answer:
D. the amount of chemical energy equals the amount of heat and light energy.
Explanation:
Given that the first law of thermodynamics affirmed that energy is neither created nor destroyed however, it can be transformed from one form to another. In other words, while, during the transformation of energy, no energy is lost, the input energy is also equal to output energy.
Hence, the chemical energy stored in the log is EQUAL to the heat and light energy produced by burning.
Impulse = Force * time
Impulse = 500N *0.5 s =250 N*s
