A ball is fired from a cannon from the top of a cliff as shown below. Which of the paths 1 - 5 would the cannonball most closely follow?

When a ball is fired from a cannon horizontally, then it will follow the projectile path. So the cannonball most closely follow the path number 2.
You can also see in the attachment my drawing.

The answer is B.
C, D and E describe curved paths which indicate accelerated motion over time. Since the kick was “swift” the force on the puck, and therefore its acceleration was instantaneous. The horizontal motion in A is cancelled out, which would imply a force to stop it in the horizontal direction, which did not occur.
The graphical representation of A directed northward, and B directed eastward. The vector representing a b most closely is by adding the tail of one of the vectors to the head of the other vector.
Looking our options the answer will be (E).
The answer is about the same for both balls. For more explanations go to brainly.com/question/14173803
The answer is "an almost constant downward force of gravity only." For more explanations, go to brainly.com/question/19578722
The answer is (B). Remember about constant speed.
The answer is (B). Velocity in a circular motion is tangential. That's why it will remain in the same direction of tangent. It closely moves in straight line path so it follows the path B. Velocity
The answer is Gravity. Gravity caused the ball to fall.
The answer is A. Only the force of gravity and the tension force from the swing act on the person.
When the cannonball is fired from the cliff, it will most closely follow the path 2.
This a type of motion in which the projectile experiences the influence of Earth gravity causing the projectile take a parabolic or curved trajectory.
The cannonball is an example of a projectile and its path of motion will be parabolic or curved.
From the given graph;
Thus, when the cannonball is fired from the cliff, it will most closely follow the path 2.
