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?arrow_forwardDuring a heated game of bocce ball, Ursula is attempting to knock the pallino (the small, white target ball) away from where her opponent's balls lie on the ground. She can do this by throwing her ball so that it lands directly on top of the pallino, which is x = 17 m horizontally downcourt from where she throws. If she releases the ball y = 0.90 m above the ground at an angle of 0 = 23° above the horizontal, then how much time will the ball spend airborne before hitting the pallino? Both balls may be treated as point particles in this problem.arrow_forward
