What is the purpose of the ropes attached to the cannon in Figure 10.10? NEWTONS SECOND LAW APPLIED TO A SYSTEM OF PARTICLES Underlying Principle FIGURE 10.10 When a cannonball is fired, all the cannon must move backward for the momentum of the ballcannon system to be conserved. The backward motion of the cannon is called recoil. The ropes are used to restrain recoil and therefore prevent damage to the ship or crew.
