Mythbusters experiment goes awry, sends cannonball...
No, like a cruise missile.

At the risk of taking the bait, a cruise missile is powered through its entire flight to the target. A ballistic missile is powered only at the beginning of the flight, and then it arcs unpowered (ballistically) to its target.
A cannonball is not like a cruise missile.
