For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. From basic conservation of momentum (m1+m2)*vo=m1*v1+m2*v2 since vo=0, this equation yields vcannon=-1/4 vprojectile Now then we can consider the fact that the cannon can only move in one dimension. So the effective velocity of the...

Homework Statement The 30-kg reel is mounted on the 20-kg cart. If the cable wrapped around the inner hub of the reel, with radius 150mm, is subjected to a force of P=50 N, determine the velocity of the cart and the angular velocity of the reel when t=4 sec . The radius of gyration of the reel...
