- Homework Statement
- A cannon is initially attached to a fixed platform (ignore the recoil). Its mass is 5800 kg.
The cannon shoots a bullet(mass=85 kg), and its speed is 551 m/s.
If the cannon is not fixed to the platform anymore, what is the speed of the bullet now?
Is the attempt at the solution shown in the attached photo well organized and correct? Should I add other explanation or diagrams to improve it?
