A battleship simultaneously fires two shells at enemy ships, as shown above. To hit the nearby ship (A), it launches a shell from one gun with a speed of 55.0 m/s at an angle of 72.0o above the horizon. To hit the far ship (B), it launches a shell from another gun with a speed of 92.0 m/s at an angle of 31.0o above the horizon. How much time is there between when each ship is hit?
