Question
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)
