Answer:
approximately 30 degrees
Explanation:
If it takes the cannonball 2 seconds to reach the maximum height, we can use the analysis of the vertical component of the velocity and the fact that the acceleration of gravity is the one acting opposite to this initial vertical component
of the velocity. We know as well that at the top of the trajectory, the vertical component of the velocity is zero, and then the movement starts going down in it trajectory. So, the final velocity for the first part of the ascending movement is zero, giving us the following equation for the velocity under an accelerated movement (with acceleration of gravity "g" acting):

By knowing the vertical component of the initial velocity (19.6 m/s), and the actual magnitude of the total initial velocity (40 m/s), we can calculate what angle was the initial velocity vector forming above the horizontal. We use for such the fact that the sine of the angle relates the opposite side of a right angle triangle with the hypotenuse, and solve for the angle using the arcsin function:

which tells us that the closer answer shown is 
Answer:
The mass flow rate is 2.37*10^-4kg/s
The exit velocity is 34.3m/s
The total flow of energy is 0.583 KJ/KgThe rate at which energy leave the cooker is 0.638KW

The primary source would be the original article published in a scientific journal. All other choices would be based on information from the original article.
Newspapers would only pick up the information from the journal itself, or from the authors. Books follow after the original article, after it has gained momentum among the research community. The public lecture at a museum would be based on work from the journal article.
