if the one of the ball is drop in a free fall in the same time as the other ball is fire from a cannon with iniatial velocity of 2m/s from the top of cliff 20m above the ground

Can you show the solution for this. I know that the X component of the bowling bowl are neglegible but I can't find the relation between Y component of the free fall bowling ball and the bowling ball fired from the cannon.

The "x" and "y" of that problem are irrelevant, the distance across has nothing to do with gravity unless the bowling ball is fired at an angle other than 180 (straight across) everything falls at 9.8m/s/s.
As long as the bowling balls are dropped from the same height. As soon as the second bowling ball leaves the cannon it will be in free fall as well and as I stated everything no matter what mass falls at 9.8m/s/s.

They won't. The one fired from the cannon will have a little further to fall because of the curvature of the earth.

Well how far are you dropping the ball in the free fall?
