You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics, you ask one of the archers to shoot an arrow parallel to the ground. Unfortunately the archer stands on an elevated platform of unknown height. However, you find the arrow stuck in the ground 58.0 m away, making a 3.00 angle with the ground Part A How fast was the arrow shot? Hint: In this question, you do not need to know the initial y-position of the arrow, nor should you assume a value. . The final direction of the arrow indicates the ratio of the v_y/v_x. So tan(final_angle with respect to the x-axis)= v_y/v_x but neither v_y, nor v_x are known. Since the arrow initially was fired horizontally, it only has an x component of velocity at first, and since there is no acceleration in x, v_x final= v_x initial. So you only need to find v_x final to get the initial velocity. You need another equation that relates v_y and v_x. Well, v_y -gt and you can get t from v_x*t=(displacement in x). Use the last two equation to eliminate t, which is not required for this problem, which give another equation that involves v_y and v_x. ΑΣφ ? m/s Request Answer Submit Provide Feedback Next

Calculate the horizontal distance, d in meters, between me and my dog
Several people stand on a bridge over a river. The bridge is not level, so the people are all different heights above the river. Each person throws a stone to the river. a) The first person is 26.8 m above the river and throws her stone with a speed of 16.6 m/s at an angle of 6 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). How long does it take her stone to hit the water, in seconds? b) The second person is 19.0 m above the river and throws his stone with a speed of 17.1 m/s at an angle of -21.4 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). What is the range of his stone, in meters? c)The third person is 9.1 m above the river and throws their stone with a speed of 6.5 m/s at an angle of 9.3 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). What is the speed of this stone (in m/s) just before it strikes the river?

You go watch your friend as she runs at a cross country meet. The first time she passes you, your friend runs by going due north at a speed of 4.40 m/s.

This time she is traveling at a speed of 3.80 m/s in the direction 30.0° W of S. What is the direction of her average acceleration between those same two times?
Just need questions C and D answered. Thanks A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 19.5 m/s. The cliff is h = 56.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure. A student stands on the edge of a cliff with his hand a height h above a flat stretch of ground below the clifftop. The +x-axis extends to the right along the ground and the +y-axis extends up from the ground to the top of the cliff. The origin O of the coordinate plane is directly below the student's hand where the base of the cliff meets the flat ground.
