The combined mass of the trolley, driver, cannon and cannon balls is 320 kg . Each cannon ball has a mass of 5 kg . Initially the trolley is at rest. A force of 480 N acts on the trolley in the forward direction for 4 seconds.
    1. Calculate the magnitude of the impulse of the force on the trolley.
    2. Calculate the speed of the trolley after the force stops acting. The driver now fires a cannon ball horizontally in the backward direction. The cannon ball and cannon separate at a rate of \(90 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
  1. Show that, after the firing of the cannon ball, the trolley moves with a speed of \(7.41 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\), correct to \(\mathbf { 3 }\) significant figures. The driver now reverses the direction of the cannon and fires the second cannon ball horizontally in the forward direction. Again, the cannon ball and cannon separate at a rate of \(90 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
  2. Calculate the overall percentage change in the kinetic energy of the trolley (alone) from before the first cannon ball is fired to after the second is fired, giving your answer correct to \(\mathbf { 2 }\) decimal places. You should make clear whether the change in kinetic energy is a gain or a loss.
