Step-by-step explanation:

The explosives changes Gerald the Human Cannonball and provides him with chemical energy.

Sulfur and carbon serve as fuels, whereas saltpetre serves as an oxidant. Gunpowder has long been employed as a propellant in weapons, artillery, rocketry, and fireworks, as well as a blasting ingredient in quarrying, mine, and road construction.
