Reflection
Our cannon did not shoot the ball out, but instead burned the ball and sat there. This might have been caused because of poor ratio of volume to pressure. This just means that because we had too much volume we had little pressure. Also, jagged edges could have hindered the launch of the ball as well because it could have attached to the ball making it hard to detach. In conclusion, it was mainly the way that we designed our cannon that affected the shooting distance because we had too much volume and not enough pressure. Also, I think that the way our cannon was designed, the cone was not aiming at the middle of the ball which in my eyes would have helped focus more pressure to propel the bal through the air.
