30 degrees
60 degrees
Both hit at the same time
Depends on the 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 hit the ground first?
Solution: Both will hit the ground 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 projection affects the shape of the path but not the time it takes to hit the ground.
Step 3: Remember that the only factor affecting the time to hit the ground is the height from which they are 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 reach the ground, regardless of their angles.
