B.due to backward thrust of gases produced

C.due to Law of Inertia

(answer + explaination pls thx)


Sagot :

Answer:

B. Due to backward thrust of gases produced

Explanation:

This is called the principle of conservation of momentum . Momentum is conserved in collisions and explosions . Conservation of momentum explains why a gun or cannon recoils backwards when it is fired. When a cannon is fired, the cannon ball gains forward momentum and the cannon gains backward momentum.

gud morning :>
