CU Comparing Changes in Gravitational Potential Energy Questions

I’m working on a physics discussion question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn. A place kicker is preparing to kick a football from ground level. Football A is kicked such that the angle of the kick is slightly above the horizontal. The place kicker then proceeds to kick another football of the same mass with the same initial speed, but this time the angle for the kick for Football B is slightly below vertical.For your initial posting, respond to the following:Compare the initial kinetic energy for each of Football A and Football B. If the kinetic energies are different explain why you believe this is the case and explain which kick will have the greater initial kinetic energy. If the kinetic energies are the same, explain why you believe this is the case.Compare the change in gravitational potential energy from the ground to the highest point for each of Football A and Football B. Explain your rationale as to why you believe the change in potential gravitational energy is either the same or different for Football A versus Football B. If you believe the change in gravitational potential energy is different, then comment on which football exhibits the larger change in change in gravitational potential energy.
