A cannonball can travel at speeds ranging from 400 to 1,800 feet per second, depending on the type of cannon and the amount of gunpowder used. The actual speed will also depend on factors such as the weight and size of the cannonball.
To determine if a cannonball is made of lead or iron, you can perform a simple density test. Lead is denser than iron, so a lead cannonball will feel heavier for its size compared to an iron cannonball. You can also use a magnet – iron is magnetic, so an iron cannonball will be attracted to a magnet while a lead cannonball will not be.
