dis appears . ( NO motion ) 17) A cannon is shot directly off the side of a cliff. It has motion both forward (the x-direction) and downward (the y- direction). (ignore air resistance) a. How does the initial velocity in the x-direction compare to the final velocity in the x-direction (after the ball leaves the cannon)? Explain how Newton's First Law describes the motion of the cannon ball in the x-direction. (7 pts) The aiAi al velocity of the ball leaving the cannon would be the highest point of velocity. O The final velocity of the ball would be the smallest value of velocity, due to the cannonball slowing down over time after being shot out. b. How does the initial velocity in the y-direction compare to the final velocity in the y- direction (after the ball leaves the cannon)? Explain how Newton's Second Law explains the motion of the cannon ball in the y-direction. Be sure to include the force involved. (8 pts) The
