3. In general, how would you compare the distance traveled by projectiles

launched at angles 30o and 60o? 50o and 60o?
The distance traveled by a projectile at 30 degrees compared to a
projectile launched at a 60 degree angle, is much shorter or less than
the distance covered at the second degree no matter the weight. And
as for the distance covered by a projectile launched at 50 degrees
compared to one launched at 60 degrees, however, is much farther
than the second degree.
