Question

You work for the National Park Service testing a small cannon used to prevent avalanches by shooting down snow overhanging the sides of mountains. In order to determine the range of the cannon, it is necessary to know the speed with which the projectile leaves the cannon (muzzle speed), relative to the ground. The cannon you are testing has a weight of 517 kg and shoots a 21-kg projectile. During lab tests where the cannon is held and cannot move, the muzzle speed is 269 m/s. You want to calculate the projectile's muzzle speed with respect to the ground under field conditions when the cannon is mounted so that it is free to move (recoil) when fired. You take the case where the cannon is fired horizontally using the same shells as in the laboratory.

What is the muzzle speed of the projectile when the cannon is free to move?
