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.

Previously submitted and the expert did not know the answer so they just answered that it will hit the ground.
Please only take this question if you know how to answer it. Please.
A student standing on a cliff throws a rock from a vertical height of d=8.0m above the level ground with velocity v0=17m/s at an angle θ=21∘ below the horizontal, as shown. (See attached photo.)
It moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the initial position of the rock.
With what speed, in meters per second, does the stone strike the ground?
Bart Jumps Springfield Gorge on his skateboard. Springfield Gorge us 50m wide, and Bart has constructed a 1.0 m Hugh ramp inclined at 30° to the horizontal. Air resistance is neglected. Homer had calculated that he can jump the gorge if the ramp is inclined to 45°, and he attains a speed of 20m/s. Will Homer make it? If not, how far short of the other side is he when he drops below the level of the ground?
