Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

wohoo thank youuu.

Answer to Question 3

Answer: In terms of impulse-momentum, the longer barrel means the time during which the exploding powder pushes on the cannonball is longer. This means more impulse, which in turn means more gain in momentum, and greater velocity. In terms of work-energy, the longer barrel means a longer distance for the force to act, which means greater work on the ball inside the barrel and more gain in kinetic energy, and greater velocity.
