In Newton's cannonball experiment, if the velocity is equal to the orbital velocity then the cannonball will stay in Orbit.

Newtons cannonball experiment stated that the distance that a cannonball will travel, before being drawn into the Earth by the forces of gravity, is dependent on the initial velocity.

Therefore, if the cannonball is launched at a velocity that matches the orbital velocity, then it will not be able to be drawn in by gravity due to the Earth moving away from the cannonball at the same speed at which the cannonball itself is falling.

This means that the cannonball will continue to fall without reaching the Earth, therefore staying in orbit, much like that of the moon or planets around the sun.
