    The cannon recoils with a force of 332.5 N

    Explanation:

    By Newton's third law Recoil force on cannon = Force in shell.

    Force in shell = Mass of shell x Acceleration of shell

    Mass of shell = 3.5 kg

    Acceleration of shell = 95 m/s²

    Force in shell = 3.5 x 95 = 332.5 N

    Recoil force on cannon = 332.5 N

    So, the cannon recoils with a force of 332.5 N
