When a cannonball is fired from a cannon, both the cannonball and the cannon experience equal ... ? LOOK AT THE DETAILS FOR CHOICES :

a) Amounts of force.
b) Accelerations.
c) Both.
d) Neither.

Answer 1

Amount of Force

Before Firing cannonball the system is in equilibrium and Total Force acting on it is zero. After firing cannonball, cannonball and cannon experience equal force (Newton's Third Law of Motion) After firing the total force also has to be zero.

Initially #F=0#

Finally #vecF_"cannonball"+vecF_"cannon"=0# #vecF_"cannonball"=-vecF_"cannon"#

The amount of Force are equal but they act in opposite direction.

When a cannonball is fired from a cannon, both the cannonball and the cannon experience equal but opposite forces known as the action-reaction pair, according to Newton's third law of motion.

Answer from HIX Tutor

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
