kaplan question, im pretty sure the answer is wrong or else im missing something...
Q: which of the following is the least amount of information that could be used to determine how far a cannonball lands from a cannon?
I chose: Initial velocity, angle of elevation and acceleration of gravity
the correct answer was initial velocity and accel. of gravity
if they meant initial velocity in the X direction or specificed that the cannon was fired directly horizontally then kaplans answer would be correct. But firing at a 60 deg. angle vs firing at a 45 deg angle has a big difference on how far the ball would land right? why am i wrong??
did i read too much into the question (happens alot with these kaplan q's) or would you guys have picked my answer?
