Rex decides to launch a priceless vase into the air at a 90-degree angle. The initial velocity of the vase is +7.0 m/s. Dylan claims that the vase would achieve a higher height if it were launched at a 45-degree angle. Is Dylan correct? A. Dylan is correct because a 45-degree launch angle results in the largest vertical range. B. Dylan is correct because larger launch angles result in a smaller vertical range. C. Dylan is incorrect because a 90-degree and 45-degree launch angle result in the same vertical range. D. Dylan is incorrect because a 90-degree launch angle results in the largest vertical range.
