I'm not sure what "60 degree horizontal" means.

I'm going to assume that it means a direction aimed 60 degrees
above the horizon and 30 degrees below the zenith. 

Now, I'll answer the question that I have invented.

When the shot is fired with speed of 'S' in that direction,
the horizontal component of its velocity is    S cos(60)  =  0.5 S ,
and the vertical component is   S sin(60) = S√3/2  =  0.866 S .  (rounded)

-- 0.75 of its kinetic energy is due to its vertical velocity.
That much of its KE gets used up by climbing against gravity.

-- 0.25 of its kinetic energy is due to its horizontal velocity.
That doesn't change. 

-- So at the top of its trajectory, its KE is 0.25 of what it had originally. 

That's  E/4 .

Rocks are elastic too! Explain how elasticity and Harry Reid's elastic rebound theory lead to a better understanding of earthqua
ANEK [815]
After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, geolophysicistHarry Fielding Reid examined the displacement of the ground surface along the San Andreas Fault. He concluded that the quake must have been the result of the elastic reboundof the strain energy in the rocks on either side of the fault.
strain energy is 0. 5x force x (compression) X (compression)
There is a lot of force and a bit of compression when rocks squash up against other rocks causing earthquakes

Describe Kinetic Energy.​
mina [271]
In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the body when decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest.
