Projectile A is fired with a velocity v at an angle of 30. with the horizontal. Projectile B is fired with velocity v at an angle of 40.° with the horizontal. Compared to the magnitude of the horizontal com- ponent of v at the time projectile A is fired, the mag- nitude of the horizontal component of v at the time projectile B is fired is (1) smaller (2) larger
