Answer:
Approximately
(assuming that external forces on the cannon are negligible.)
Step-by-step explanation:
If an object of mass
is moving at a velocity of
, the momentum
of that object would be
.
Momentum of the t-shirt:
.
If there is no external force (gravity, friction, etc.) on this cannon, the total momentum of this system should be conserved. In other words, if
denote the momentum of this cannon:
.
.
Rewrite
to obtain
. Since the mass of this cannon is
, the velocity of this cannon would be:
.
