Both objects are acted on by the force of the expanding gases in the bore. The forces forward and backward have to be equal. The motion they produce ... the forward motion of the shot and the rearward motion of the cannon ... are in inverse proportion to their masses, so that the linear momentum after the shot is the same as the linear momentum before the shot, namely zero.

The moon has no atmosphere and has less gravity than the earth. That means that a cannonball fired on the moon will travel further.

he was hired and fired on the same day
throught the use of pressure/fire/gun powder
none. because of Newton's first law. that an object in motion is going to stay in motion (cannonball) until and outside force is acted upon it. So in theory it could be a meteor or black hole that changes its course of direction, but in this case, the cannonball would travel 'infinitely.
We calculated the trajectory of the cannonball before we fired it.
He got fired! ha! ha! ha!

It will awaken the bird.
"For every action, there is an equal and oposite reaction." The cannonball is pushed out of the barrel at high speed. This pushes the cannon in the opposite direction. That is recoil. The heavier the cannonball, and the faster it is pushed, the more the cannon recoils.
A cannonball fired horizontally and one dropped from the height of the muzzle simultaneous with the shot will hit the ground at the same instant, provided only that the ground under the muzzle and the ground where the shot lands are at the same elevation, i.e. the shot was not fired off the edge of a cliff or into the side of a mountain. To solve this kind of problems, it often helps to separate the movement, or the speed, into vertical and horizontal components. In this case, the vertical component of the speed is the same.
