The velocity of the cannonball is 150 m/s,  the right option is B. 150 m/s.

The question can be solved, using Newton's second law of motion.

Note: Momentum of the cannon = momentum of the cannonball.

Formula:

  • MV = mv................. Equation 1

Where:

  • M = mass of the cannon
  • m = mass of the cannonball
  • V = velocity of the cannon
  • v = velocity of the cannonball

Make v the subject of the equation.

  • v = MV/m................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • M = 500 kg
  • V = 3 m/s
  • m = 10 kg.

Substitute these values into equation 2.

  • v = (500×3)/10
  • v = 150 m/s.

 

Hence, The velocity of the cannonball is 150 m/s,  the right option is B. 150 m/s.
