Examples from texts

These molecules unceasingly hustling against each other with the velocity of a cannon ball, without becoming heated, thanks to an elasticity supposed to be infinite, have perhaps but a very remote resemblance to the reality.
Ces molécules se choquant sans cesse avec la vitesse d'un boulet de canon, sans s'échauffer, grâce à une élasticité qu'il faut supposer infinie, n'ont peut-être qu'une très lointaine parenté avec la réalité.

Individual liberty is drawn up against collective servitude, personal initiative against the tyranny of State Socialism, old habits of international integrity and respect for treaties against the supremacy of the cannon.
La liberté individuelle se dresse contre l'asservissement collectif, l'initiative personnelle contre la tyrannie étatiste, las anciennes habitudes de loyauté internationale et de respect des traités, contre la suprématie des canons.

These worthy men, particularly when their interests are at stake, kill at home with a snap of the fingers, as we, the Parisians, kill with cannon in the public thoroughfares.
Ces bonshommes, surtout quand leurs intérêts sont en jeu, tuent à domicile, à coups de chiquenaudes, comme nous tuons à coups de canon, en place publique.

As all kneeled by one consent, a more touching and hearty Te Deum never ascended to heaven, though borne on the peal of organ, bell and cannon, than came from that honest old heart.
Tous s’agenouillèrent à la fois. Jamais Te Deum, avec les pompes de l’orgue, des cloches et du canon, ne fut moitié si émouvant et ne monta plus droit au ciel, que le simple chant de triomphe parti de ces cœurs pieux et naïfs.

Independently of the movements of translation in a straight line like that of a cannon ball, or of rotation like that of the stars, matter and the ether may show very different forms of movement.
Indépendamment des mouvements de translation en ligne droite, comme celui d'un boulet de canon ou de rotation comme celui des astres, la matière et l'éther peuvent présenter des formes de mouvement fort diverses.

It is by virtue of inertia that the worlds continue to circulate in space, that a ball hurled from a cannon by the explosion of gunpowder travels several thousand metres.
C'est en vertu de l'inertie que les mondes continuent à circuler dans l'espace et qu'un boulet chassé du canon par l'explosion de la poudre parcourt plusieurs milliers de mètres.

He had long searched and doubted, calculated, recalculated and experimented; but everything was now ready: the precise formula of the powder, the drawings for the cannon and the bombs, a whole packet of precious papers stored in a safe spot.
Longtemps, il avait cherché, douté, refait ses calculs et ses expériences ; mais tout, à cette heure, était prêt, la formule exacte de la poudre, les dessins pour le canon et les bombes, un précieux dossier mis en lieu sûr.

The cost of one shot from a twelve-inch cannon is over two hundred pounds, and even a modest shell for a "seventy-five " gun costs about twenty-four shillings.
Le prix du coup d'un canon de 305mm dépasse 5.000 francs. Un modeste obus pour canon de 75 revient à une trentaine de francs.

And he had found employment for this powder in an engine of warfare, a special cannon, hurling bombs which would assure the most overwhelming victory to the army using them.
Cette poudre, il en avait trouvé l’emploi dans un engin de guerre, des bombes lancées par un canon spécial, dont l’usage devait assurer une foudroyante victoire à l’armée qui s’en servirait.

Then, having lighted a cigarette, he showed Rougon a small model of a new cannon lately invented by an officer. The little weapon looked like a child's toy.
Là, il alluma une cigarette, puis il montra à Rougon le modèle réduit d'un nouveau canon, inventé par un officier; le petit canon ressemblait à un jouet d'enfant.

Professor Bernard Brunhes, who witnessed this experiment, is persuaded that if the velocity of the liquid column were sufficient a cannon ball would not go through it.
M. le professeur Bernard Brunhes, témoin de ces expériences, est persuadé que si la vitesse de la colonne liquide était suffisante, un boulet de canon ne la traverserait pas.

Immaterial forces are indeed the true leaders of battles, and behind every cannon and every bayonet the discerning eye may discover the invisible masters who have set them in motion.
Des forces immatérielles sont donc les vraies directrices des combats. Derrière chaque canon, chaque baïonnette, un œil suffisamment perspicace découvrirait les invisibles maîtres qui les font mouvoir.
