why does a canonball shot from a long canon have more velocity than a short one?

Update:

@SCAR so it's more force applied or more impulse?

    The projectile is in the barrel longer, and the force of the explosive gases acts on it for a longer time before exiting the barrel. More impulse = more momentum.
