It is more than can be explained by the velocity squared. Why? Hint: Road friction is not the answer.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> I ...

Re: Momentum....

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>That's rather remarkable when you think about it. The distance the cannonball travels is independent of the initial velocity.
