The cannonball will, for its mass, experience proportionately less air resistance than the orange since its density is some 17 times greater than the orange's. Since the air resistance will eventually balance the acceleration due to gravity, the cannonball will achieve a higher terminal velocity than the orange if both are dropped from a great height. For short drops of a few meters, the difference in the effect of air resistance will be hardly noticeable and both will appear to fall at the same speed.

What makes an object move faster and faster when it falls?
An object falls faster and faster due to the acceleration of gravity. As the object falls, it gains speed because the gravitational force pulling it downwards remains constant, causing the object to accelerate until it eventually reaches its terminal velocity.
Does milk water or orange juice freeze faster?
Water as it is less acidic than either milk and orange juice.
Which falls faster a quarter or feather?
In a vacuum, a feather and a quarter would fall at the same rate due to gravity's influence. However, in normal conditions with air resistance, the feather falls slower since it has a larger surface area, creating more air resistance.
What has a lower frequency and longer wavelength Orange light or violet light?
Orange light has a lower frequency and longer wavelength compared to violet light. Orange light falls on the longer wavelength end of the visible light spectrum, while violet light falls on the shorter wavelength end.
When a cannonball is fired is momentum conserved for the cannonball system as a whole?
Yes, momentum is always conserved in a system unless acted upon by an external force. When a cannonball is fired, the momentum of the cannonball system as a whole remains constant because the momentum of the cannonball is equal and opposite to the momentum of the recoil of the cannon.

What did Aristotle say about falling objects?
He basically said that heavier things fall faster. This is not true. Here's a reductio ad absurdum argument to show that it can't be true. Suppose that it IS true. Now drop a 10 pound cannonball and a 20 pound cannonball from the same height. Obviously, the 20 pound cannonball hits the ground first. (Remember, we're assuming Aristotle was right.) Now let's take a string and connect the two cannonballs. The twenty-pound cannonball will fall faster than the ten-pound cannonball ... until they pull the string taut. Now what happens? Does the heavy ball speed the light one up, or does the light ball slow the heavy one down? Do they fall at the average speed of the two? And how do the cannonballs know they're tied together so they know how to fall?
Why is the speed of a cannonball greater when shot from a cannon with a longer barrel?
The energy needed to move a cannonball is created by burning fuel--usually gunpowder but nothing says they couldn't make a cannon that burned propane to fire projectiles. Anyway, if you're firing a round the speed of that cannonball is determined in part by how long the energy's being applied to it. The longer the barrel is, the longer the energy will be applied and the faster the cannonball will go.
Does a penny corrode faster in water or orange juice?

What was the name of the train on 'petticoat junction'?
The Cannonball Express The Cannonball Express The name of the train on "Petticoat Junction" was the "Hooterville Cannonball". If indeed it WAS called the "Cannonball Express", this was kept secret by having "Hooterville Cannonball" emblazoned on the engine and always referring to the train either as the "Cannonball" or the "Hooterville Cannonball" while no one in the show ever called it the "Cannonball Express".
What will ferment faster -apple juice or orange juice?
this is a guess.. orange juice
Does a cannonball go faster if shot from a long cannon or a short one?
The long barreled cannon allows a longer time for the explosive charge to act upon the cannonball, which increases its velocity, making it go farther. You could also say the distance of the force of the long barreled cannon is greater, which increases its velocity, making it go farther.
