Problem

Projectiles A and B are launched simultaneously from ground level with the same initial speed v0v_0. Projectile A is launched at 40∘40^{\circ} above the horizontal, and projectile B is launched at 50∘50^{\circ} above the horizontal. Ignore air resistance. Which of the following statements is true about their motions? a) Projectile B reaches a greater maximum height and remains in the air longer, but lands closer than Projectile A. b) Projectile B reaches a greater maximum height and remains in the air longer, but both projectiles have the same horizontal range. c) Projectile A reaches a greater maximum height and remains in the air longer, while their horizontal ranges are equal. d) Projectile B reaches a greater maximum height, stays in the air for a shorter time, yet the two projectiles travel the same horizontal range.
