Different of an element have different numbers of electrons

When using the scientist method, which step comes last?

Two cannon balls weighing 18 kg and 24 kg are chained together and fired horizontally with a velocity of 165 m/s from the top of a 21-m wall. the chain breaks during the flight of the cannonballs and the 18-kg cannonball strikes the ground at t = 1.5 s, at a distance of 240 m from the foot of the wall, and 7 m to the right of the line of fire. determine the position of the other cannonball at that instant. neglect the resistance of the air.

Give an example for each of the following situations: 1) negative acceleration, but positive velocity 2) positive acceleration and positive velocity 3) positive acceleration, but negative velocity 4) negative acceleration and negative velocity 5) positive velocity and no acceleration
