i lack the latter, so here is my question, if three objects are shot from a cliff all at different angles...what will their KE be right before they hit the ground relative to each other (neglecting air resistence) now i know the answer to this is they are all equal, having gotten it wrong on a test, but let's say the object shot at the highest angle, doesn't that one have the furest to fall meaning more PE due to gravity,,, how can they possibly all have the same KE,, ie speed. The lame answer i got from my professor was that they all started at the same height, but the object shot at the highest degree angle was at a different height, so it has more PE...confused and frustrated
