An object is shot from the ground (at 25 m/s) at 25 degrees and 65 degrees.  Which is in the air for longer? (assume no air resistance)

• 25 degrees
• 65 degrees
• same for both

Which angle will produce the greatest range (in the absence of air resistance)?

• 0 degrees
• 45 degrees
• 90 degrees
• none of these
