Question: Three objects, ( mathrm { A } , mathrm { B } ) , and C , of the same mass

Three objects, \(\mathrm{A},\mathrm{B}\), and C , of the same mass are launched into the air and fall to the ground. Each object has the same speed just before it strikes the ground, however Object A lands with a final velocity that is \(37^{\circ}\) below the horizontal, Object B lands with a final velocity that is \(45^{\circ}\) below the horizontal, and Object C lands with a final velocity that is \(53^{\circ}\) below the horizontal. Which of these objects, if any, had the greatest kinetic energy just before striking the ground?
Object A
Object B
All three objects have the same kinetic energy
Three objects, \ ( \ mathrm { A } , \ mathrm { B
