A cannon ball traveled at speeds up to and or exceeding 100 miles per hour this depended on how well the cannon was packed how much powder was charged and the degree the cannon barrel was angled many soldiers packed two balls connected by a large chain this increased the effectiveness of the cannon others where loaded with many smaller balls like buckshot in a shotgun.
