1.An archer aims at a target. (a) Should she aim the arrow directly at the target? Why or why not? Draw a simple diagram to support your explanation. (b) How should her angle of aim change depending on the distance to the target? (c) Suppose the archer’s arrow is 1.2m above the ground, the bull’s eye is 43m away and at a height of 1.8m, and she can shoot the arrow at an initial speed of 2.8m/s. It is a calm day with no wind so we ignore air resistance. At what angle should she aim her arrow to hit the bull’s eye?
