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.

Which falls faster a quarter or feather?
the feather falls faster. The quarter falls faster if the height is very tall. When the hight is about a foot or so the feather falls faster. Try it for yourself :)

gravity
Does milk water or orange juice freeze faster?
Water as it is less acidic than either milk and orange juice.
Is it true that the higher you drop something from the faster?
If you're asking if it falls faster, it will only accelerate until it reaches terminal velocity.

Why does a cannon recoil when fired?
"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.
Does orange juice freeze faster than orange soda?
no water and soda freeze faster:) hope i helped:)
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".
