Two cooks standing side by side in a restaurant pull their beaters out of the dough at the same instant.A glob of dough flies off each beater.Each glob lands on the top of a tin the same horizontal distance away and at its initial height.However,one lands later than the other.The explanation is that they left the beaters at angles θ₁ and θ₂ such that: A)θ₂ = −θ₁. B)θ₁ + θ₂ = . C)θ₁ + θ₂ = . D)θ₁ + θ₂ = π. E)θ₁ − θ₂ = π.

According to the given information, the two cooks left their beaters at angles θ₁ and θ₂. When the dough flies off, it follows a projectile motion and lands on the top of a tin at the same horizontal distance away and at its initial height. However, one lands later than the other. This is because the two beaters were released at different angles, and hence they follow different trajectories. The sum of the angles at which the beaters were released should be equal to the angle at which the tins are placed, which is given by 11ea7ff9_2a65_56ab_a768_211ea0004388_TB2295_11. Therefore, the correct choice is C, which states θ₁ + θ₂ = 11ea7ff9_2a65_56ab_a768_211ea0004388_TB2295_11.
