One day Hercules sees the lion 320 feet away. He strings his bow and lets an arrow fly. The arrow leaves his bow travelling at 210 feet per second from a height of 6 feet. He wants to hit the lion in the neck above the shoulders which is 4 feet off of the ground. determine the launch angle that will hit the Lion. Find the right angle.arrow_forwardBefore jumping from the bridge, Martin throws his water bottle to a friend standing on the bank of the lake. The bridge is 7.0 m high.
