When a cannon ball is fired from a cannon, the cannonball speeds off in the forward direction, while the cannon lurches backwards much more slowly. Does this mean that the force of the cannonball on the cannon is much less than the force of the cannon on the cannonball? Why or why not? How can the law of force and acceleration explain the very different motions of the cannon and cannonball? (10 points)
