$A$ cannon shell fired breaks into two equal parts at its highest point. One part retraces the path to the cannon with kinetic energy $E_1$ and the kinetic energy of the second part is $E_2$. The relation between $E_1$ and $E_2$ is:

  • A
    $E_2 = 15 E_1$
  • B
    $E_2 = E_1$
  • C
    $E_2 = 4 E_1$
  • D
    $E_2 = 9 E_1$
