- Homework Statement
- A group of budding engineers made a cannon 1.0 m in length that shoots potatoes. They recorded the speed at which a potato could be launched. They measured it to be a constant 63 m/s over a horizontal distance of 1.0 m. The potato had a mass of 174 g. Assuming the potato accelerated from rest in the cannon, what was the magnitude of the force that the cannon exerted of the potato? (assume the potato hits a wall after 1.0 m and stops moving) (Answer to one decimal place)
