Question

A cannonball is shot from a cannon at a very high speed. The force of the explosion will be experienced by the cannonball for several seconds (or a least a little while). Identify your answer, then explain your answer selection.True or false

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} F_1=Force_{\text{ }}of_{\text{ }}the_{\text{ }}cannon_{\text{ }}ball \\ F_2=Force_{\text{ }}of_{\text{ }}the_{\text{ }}explosion \\ \end{gathered}`

Before the cannon ball is in the air this force is basically:

`\begin{gathered} F_1=ma \\ a=0 \\ F_1=0 \end{gathered}`

And the force of the explosion is:

`\begin{gathered} F_2=xN \\ Where: \\ x_{\text{ }}is_{\text{ }}an_{\text{ }}arbitrary_{\text{ }}amount \end{gathered}`

After this force is applied to the cannonball after being shooted;

`\begin{gathered} F1=ma \\ a=-9.8\cdot(m)/(s^2) \end{gathered}`

So, the force of the cannonball only depends on the acceleration of gravity.

Therefre, tehe statement is False
