A 3500 kg cannon is mounted so that it can recoil only in thehorizontal direction. (a) Calculate its recoil velocity in m/s whenit fires a 15.0 kg shell at 480 m/s at an angle of 20.0° above thehorizontal. (Enter the magnitude.) m/s (b) What is the kineticenergy of the cannon in J? This energy is dissipated as heattransfer in shock absorbers that stop its recoil. J (c) Whathappens to the vertical component of momentum that is imparted tothe cannon when it is fired?
