1. William Tell shoots an arrow horizontally at a target 15 m away. The arrow is aimed directly at the center of the target at point P, but it hits 60 cm below the Bulls-eye at point Q. (a) How long does it take the arrow to reach the target? (b) What was the initial speed of the arrow? (c) What are the velocity components, vx & vy just before it hits the target? (d) What are the magnitude and direction at this time? Sketch and Label all vectors P
