Question

Suppose a cannon, placed on a moving cart with negligible friction in the wheel bearings, projects a cannonball straight up in the air. Would the vertical velocity of the ball as I see it as an observer be different from the vertical velocity as would be seen by the rider of the cart? How would you describe that motion, uniform velocity or uniform acceleration?
