A cannon is fired horizontally from a platform (see figure). The platform rests on a flat, icy, frictionless surface. Just after the shell is fired and while it is moving through the barrel of the gun, the shell (mass 2.9 kg) has an acceleration of +2600 m/s². At the same time, the cannon has an acceleration of -0.72 m/s². What is the mass of the cannon? kg Cannon shell Ice

The 4 model rockets just have their engine turned off when they are at the same height. All the rockets are aimed straight up, but their speeds differ. Although they are the same size and shape, the rockets carry different loads, so their masses differ. The specific mass and speed for each rocket are given below: A. speed = 30m/s, mass = 700g B. speed = 40m/s, mass = 500g C. speed = 20m/s, mass = 600g D. speed = 20m/s, mass = 500g How much maximum height each model rocket will reach? Why they will reach different heights?
