About This Quote

It is a common misconception that a cannonball will travel 2,000 mph. It is true that it can reach 2,000 mph, but it doesn’t stay at that speed. A cannonball will fall to Earth at a much slower rate than it was originally launched and will decelerate as it falls and impacts the Earth’s atmosphere. As a result, the average speed of a cannonball after it leaves the barrel of a cannon will be about 2,000 mph (3,200 km/h).
