30 degrees
60 degrees
Both land at the same time
Depends on the initial speed

Q
Q: Two objects are thrown simultaneously from the same height but at different angles. If one is thrown at 30 degrees and the other at 60 degrees, which will land first?
Solution: Both will land at the same time as they are thrown from the same height.
Steps: 4
Step 1: Understand that both objects are thrown from the same height.
Step 2: Recognize that the angle of launch affects the horizontal distance but not the time of flight.
Step 3: Realize that the time it takes for an object to fall to the ground depends only on the height from which it is thrown and the acceleration due to gravity.
Step 4: Conclude that since both objects are thrown from the same height, they will take the same amount of time to hit the ground, regardless of their launch angles.
