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 have a greater range?
Solution: Both angles will have the same range when launched from the same height.
Steps: 4
Step 1: Understand that the range of a projectile is how far it travels horizontally before hitting the ground.
Step 2: Know that when two objects are thrown from the same height, their range depends on the angle at which they are thrown.
Step 3: Recognize that for a given height, the range is the same for two angles that add up to 90 degrees. In this case, 30 degrees and 60 degrees add up to 90 degrees.
Step 4: Conclude that both objects will land at the same distance from the starting point, meaning they have the same range.
