A cannon of mass 6.14 x 103 kg is rigidly bolted to theearth so it can recoil only by a negligible amount. The cannonfires a 89.6-kg shell horizontally with an initial velocity of 595m/s. Suppose the cannon is then unbolted from the earth, and noexternal force hinders its recoil. What would be the velocity of a shell fired from this loose cannon? (Hint: In both cases assumethat the burning gunpowder imparts the same kinetic energy to thesystem.)
