Identical cannon balls are fired with the same force, one each from four cannons having respective bore lengths of 1.0 meter, 2.0 meters, 2.5 meters and 3.0 meters. which cannon will have the minimum impulse on the ball if the force acting on the ball increases with the length of the bore? a.) 3.0 meters b.) 1.0 meters c.) 2.5 meters d.) 2.0 meters

To answer this question, we must bear in mind the following considerations that are mentioned in the statement:

The cannon balls are identical and shoot with the same force

The force acting on the cannonball increases with the length of the hole.

You want to know which cannon will have the least momentum on the ball.

Then, the force on the ball increases as the barrel length increases and the impulse depends on the magnitude of the force, then, the cannon that will have the minimum impulse will be the 1 meter one.

The answer is option B.

in simple terms, the principle states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume times the gravitational acceleration, g. this is also known as upthrust.
