There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

There’s no ‘ cancel out’ there would be a violent kinetic reaction as all the energy is released when the cannonballs collide. Depending on the muzzle velocity you would get something between smushed cannonballs to a massive expanding sphere of iron shrapnel and slag, assuming they were aligned perfectly.
so they would cancel each other out?
I don’t think so. This mythbusters clip is a good example of two sets of energy inputs canceling each other out. In the double cannon experiment OP posits the energy becomes additive.
