Two cannonballs, aptly named a and B, were launched on level ground. a was launched with a velocity of 18.0 [m/s] at 36° with respect to the ground while B was launched with a velocity of 17.6 [m/s] at 48° with respect to the ground. What can you say about a and B's range and time of flight? O a and B have the same range; a has a larger time of flight. O a and B have the same range; B has a larger time of flight.
