# Two cannonballs, A and B, are fired from the ground with identical initial speeds, but with \( \theta_A \) larger than \( \theta_B \).

Two cannonballs, A and B, are fired from the ground with identical initial speeds, but with \( \theta_A \) larger than \( \theta_B \).

**Part a)** Which cannonball reaches a higher elevation? Explain. *(3 points)*

**Part b)** Which stays longer in the air? Explain. *(3 points)*

**Part c)** Assume that \(\theta_B\) is closer to \(45^\circ\) than \(\theta_A\) Which travels farther? Explain. *(3 points)*
