Q
Q: Two objects are thrown simultaneously from the same height but at different angles. If both have the same initial speed, which will hit the ground first?
Solution: All objects hit the ground at the same time if launched from the same height with the same speed.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Understand that both objects are thrown from the same height.
Step 2: Note that both objects have the same initial speed.
Step 3: Recognize that the only force acting on the objects after they are thrown is gravity.
Step 4: Realize that gravity pulls both objects down at the same rate, regardless of their angles.
Step 5: Conclude that since both objects start at the same height and are affected by gravity equally, they will hit the ground at the same time.
