In the picture, cannonball A was launched at 10 m/s at 60°, and B was launched at 18 m/s at 25°. The cannonball that hit the ground first was

• A, because it had less total velocity.

• B, because it had more total velocity.

• A, because it had less initial vertical velocity.

• B, because it had less initial vertical velocity.
