$A$ body is projected from the ground at an angle $\theta_1$ with the horizontal with kinetic energy $K$. What is the potential energy of the body when the velocity makes an angle $\theta_2$ with the horizontal?

  • A
    $K\frac{\sin^2 \theta_1}{\sin^2 \theta_2}$
  • B
    $K\left( 1 - \frac{\cos^2 \theta_1}{\cos^2 \theta_2} \right)$
  • C
    $K\left( 1 - \frac{\sin^2 \theta_1}{\sin^2 \theta_2} \right)$
  • D
    $K\frac{\cos^2 \theta_1}{\cos^2 \theta_2}$
