I seriously started thinking about what kind of velocity the cannonball would need, and how long it would take for the cannonball to go around Earth. Interesting problem.

What if you time it based on the video (roughly 1 second) and then calculate how fast a 10mm diameter steel ball bearing would have to travel to go around the Earth?

Ignoring atmosphere and assuming there are no obstacles, and assuming Earth's gravity were high enough to prevent the ball from escaping, and assuming the ball would be skimming on Earth's surface... Equatorial circumference is 40,000 km roughly. So, 40,000 km/s. Which is about 13% of speed of light.

10mm steel ball weights about 4 grams based on some googling. If i calculated correctly, it would have kinetic energy over 3 terajoules... a bit less than a kiloton of TNT.

Practice makes perfect.

When the West Australian bogan wants to show how classy they are, they have their wedding reception at a Bunnings sausage sizzle.
