Cannonball a is launched across level ground with speed v₀ at an angle of 45. Cannonball b is launched from the same location with the same speed v₀ at an angle 60. Which cannonball spends more time in the air?

Cannonball b spends more time in the air than cannonball a.

Explanation:

Starting with the definition of acceleration, we have that:

Since both cannonballs will stop in their maximum height, their final velocity is zero. And since the acceleration in the y-axis is g, we have:

Now, this time interval is from the moment the cannonballs are launched to the moment of their maximum height, exactly the half of their time in the air. So their flying time t_f is (the minus sign is ignored since we are interested in the magnitudes only):

Then, we can see that the time the cannonballs spend in the air is proportional to the vertical component of the initial velocity. And we know that:

Finally, since and , we can conclude that:

In words, the cannonball b spends more time in the air than cannonball a.

i think if it were me i whould divide 300 dide 15
