Set both cannons to Cannonball.

Question

Set the right cannon's Launch Angle to 45 degrees and Launch Speed to 10 m/s.
Set the left cannon's Launch Angle to higher than 45 degrees.
Adjust the left cannon's Launch Speed until both cannons have the same Range when fired.
Choose one • 10 points

Based on these results, what can you conclude about the relationship between the initial speed and launch angle?

The higher the initial launch angle, the greater the speed must be to achieve the same range.

The higher the initial launch angle, the smaller the speed must be to achieve the same range.

The initial speed and launch angle have no direct relationship.
Best answer

Answer 1

The best answer is:

The higher the initial launch angle, the greater the speed must be to achieve the same range.

This conclusion stems from the physics of projectile motion. As the launch angle increases, the horizontal component of the initial velocity decreases, meaning a higher launch speed is necessary to achieve the same range.
