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?
A golf ball is hit at a 64o angle with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. What are the x and y components of its initial velocity? How high did the golf ball go? How long was the golf ball in the air? How far did the golf ball go? What other angle would give this distance? (think of your lab) How would you decide which angle would be better to use?
