Summary

Description
English: In this experiment Newton visualizes a cannon on top of a very high mountain.

If there were no forces of gravitation or air resistance, then the cannonball should follow a straight line away from Earth. If a gravitational force acts on the cannon ball, it will follow a different path depending on its initial velocity.

If the speed is low, it will simply fall back on Earth.
