Which of the following are TRUE? Choose only two (2).
Select one or more:
a. The range is inversely proportional to the sine of twice the launch angle.
b. At constant initial velocity, as the launch angle increases, range also increases.
c. The range is directly proportional to the sine of twice the launch angle.
d. At constant initial velocity, for launch angles less than 45°, range increases as launch angles increases. For angles greater than 45°, range decreases as launch angles increases.
e. At constant initial velocity, as the launch angle increases, range decreases.

- Cannon problem: There is a new cannon entering service. The artillery crews need some information about the cannon's behavior so they can make adjustments to the firing angle as needed. When the engineers tell the artillery crew the range to the target, the crew must be able to calculate and set the proper firing angle for the cannon quickly. a) In order to calculate the proper firing angle what do they need to know about the cannonball leaving the cannon? (Ignore the height of the cannon above the ground. For now we will assume it makes little difference) b) Given your answer for part a, we need to identify the point in the cannonball's flight when it has its "initial velocity". The cannonball is clearly moving inside the barrel of the cannon, but at which point in the cannonball's path do we mark the initial velocity?
