2. An archer standing on the back of a pickup truck moving at 28 m/s fires an arrow straight up at a duck flying directly overhead. He misses the duck. The arrow was fired with an initial vertical velocity of 49 m/s relative to the truck. (a) For how many seconds will the arrow be in the air? (b) How far will the truck travel while the arrow is in the air? (c) Where, in relation to the archer, will the arrow come down? (Ignore air friction.) Will the archer have to "duck"? Explain.
