A cannonball is fired horizontally at the same time a ball being dropped from the same height How do the times it takes them to hit the ground compare?

The cannonball and the ball will both take the same amount of time before they hit the ground.

Explanation:

For a ball fired horizontally from a given height, there is only a vertical acceleration on it towards the ground. This acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.81 m/s^2). A ball dropped from a height will also only experience the same vertical acceleration downwards which is also equal to g = 9.81 m/s^2.

Therefore both the cannonball and the ball will take the same amount of time to hit the ground if they are released/fired from the same height.
