32. When a cannon is fired ... A) How does the size of the force of the cannon on the cannonball compare with the force of the cannonball on the cannon? B) How does the acceleration of the cannon compare with that of the cannonball? Defend your answer.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

A) The force that the cannon exerts on the cannonball is the same as the force the cannonball exerts on the cannon because of Newton's Third Law stating "for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction".

B) The cannon's acceleration is much smaller than that of the cannonball because the cannon has a much larger mass, making it have a very small acceleration since mass and acceleration are inversely proportional.
