Reflection

Our cannon's design used Boyle's law of pressure and volume being inversely related by lowering the volume by cutting the second tennis ball cannon in half. Thus increasing the pressure, so the ball will go farther. Our cannon didn't fire due to the cold weather. This follows Gay Lussac's law where temperature and pressure are directly related. The cold temperature decreased the pressure and therefore, out cannons didn't fire. We probably have made our cannon more stable if we did it again.
