 A cannon is mounted on a flatbed railcar on horizontal railroad

A cannon is mounted on a flatbed railcar on horizontal railroad tracks. OO The cannon is set so that it will project a 140 kg projectile at 185 m/s at an angle of 320 above the horizontal (and in the positive x direction). If the mass of the railcar, cannon, and shell prior to being fired is 5000 kg, what are the horizontal and vertical components of the railcar and cannon just after the shell is fired? Horizontal velocity = m/s Vertical velocity = 0 V m/s
