Question

(8) The cannon below fires with a set velocity, vo. If the angle of the projectile is raised to 75o, what would happen the height and range of the projectile&rsquo;s path?

Select one:
a. The projectile would travel to a greater height and have a longer range. 
b. The projectile would travel to a lower height and have a smaller range.
c. The projectile would travel to a greater height and have a smaller range.
d. The projectile would travel to a greater height and have the same range.

Answer

Generally greater height, shorter range. There are always exceptions, though, like if the initial trajectory was to fire the ball not upwards but downwards into the ground.
