Under the conditions already stated (drag is to be ignored) which of the following correctly desenbes the acceleration of the ball? A steadily increasing downward acceleration from the moment the cannonball leaves the cannon barrel until it reaches its highest point A steadily decreasing upward acceleration from the moment the cannonball leaves the cannon barrel until it reaches its highest point A constant upward acceleration A constant downward acceleration
