Question

an arrow is fired horizontally at a target 30 meters away. The bullseye is at the same level as the bow. The initial speed of the arrow is 50 m/s. How long does it take to get to the target? How far below the bullseye does it fall?

Answer 1

The horizontal velocity component remains 50 m/s. Divide the distance by that speed to get the time it takes to get to the target, t.

For the distance the arrow falls en route, use
y = (1/2) g t^2
