A cannon of mass M (=1300kg) fires a 72-kg ball in a horizontal direction with speed v (= 55 m/s) relative to the cannon. The cannon is mounted so that it can recoil freely.
What is the velocity V of the recoiling cannon with respect to Earth?
What is the initial velocity vE of the ball with respect to Earth?.
