<h2>Hello!</h2>
The answer is: B. Kinetic energy
<h2>Why?</h2>Since the ball is falling, speed increases because the gravity acceleration is acting. When speed increases, the kinetic energy increases too, so the ball is gaining kinetic energy.
The gravity acceleration is equal to , it means that when falling, the ball will increase it's speed 9.81m every second.
We can calculate the kinetic energy by using the following formula:

<h2 />Answer:
y = 17 m
Explanation:
For this projectile launch exercise, let's write the equation of position
x = v₀ₓ t
y = t - ½ g t²
let's substitute
45 = v₀ cos θ t
10 = v₀ sin θ t - ½ 9.8 t²
the maximum height the ball can reach where the vertical velocity is zero
v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt
0 = v₀ sin θ - gt
0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t
Let's write our system of equations
45 = v₀ cos θ t
10 = v₀ sin θ t - ½ 9.8 t²
0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t
We have a system of three equations with three unknowns for which it can be solved.
Let's use the last two
v₀ sin θ = 9.8 t
we substitute
10 = (9.8 t) t - ½ 9.8 t2
10 = ½ 9.8 t2
10 = 4.9 t2
t = √ (10 / 4.9)
t = 1,429 s
Now let's use the first equation and the last one
45 = v₀ cos θ t
0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t
9.8 t = v₀ sin θ
45 / t = v₀ cos θ
we divide
9.8t / (45 / t) = tan θ
tan θ = 9.8 t² / 45
θ = tan⁻¹ ( 9.8 t² / 45 )
θ = tan⁻¹ (0.4447)
θ = 24º
Now we can calculate the maximum height
v_y² = - 2 g y
vy = 0
y = v_{oy}^2 / 2g
y = (20 sin 24)²/2 9.8
y = 3,376 m
the other angle that gives the same result is
θ‘= 90 - θ
θ' = 90 -24
θ'= 66'
for this angle the maximum height is
y = v_{oy}^2 / 2g
y = (20 sin 66)²/2 9.8
y = 17 m
thisis the correct
