21. During the latter part of your European vacation, you are hanging out at the beach at the gold coast
of Spain. As you are laying in your chaise lounge soaking up the warm Mediterranean sun, a large blob of
seagull poop hits you in the face. Since you got an "A" in Physics you are able to estimate the impact
velocity at 98.5 m/s. Neglecting air resistance, calculate how high up the seagull was flying when it
pooped.

Imagine an archer preparing to fire an arrow. The archer aims the arrow directly ahead, that is to say, parallel with the ground. Bows are drawn to the corner of the mouth when fired. Let's say, for this particular archer, that puts the arrow 1.8 m (about 5.5 feet) above the ground. Assume that we have measured the initial speed of arrows fired by this archer with this bow and it is 100 m/s. (Ignore wind resistance) a) At what point during the arrow's flight will it be moving the fastest? (Be careful here, think about it. You don't need to do any calculations to figure this out.)
b) How long will it take for the arrow to hit the ground?c) How far will the arrow travel during this time period?

It isimportant for the script that the rock takes precisely 3.0 seconds to hit the ground sothat there is time for a good expressive close-up.

- Arlal B 2 3 4 5 1. An archer fires an arrow horizontally from her shoulder, 1.5 meters from the ground. It misses his target and buries itself in the ground 40 meters away. Frustrated that they are out about $6 to replace it, the archer figures he might as well calculate the launch velocity of the arrow to take his mind off it. How fast was the arrow going at the moment of launch? A daredevil launches off a ramp trying to jump 10 flaming school buses. They launch with an initial horizontal velocity of 30 m/s. They also have a vertical velocity of 10 meters per second. Will they make the jump if ramp to ramp is 50 meters? 2. It might help to Sketch the diagram of the jump.
