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.
