You are hiking in the rocky canyon lands of Utah and eventually realize you are lost. You climb up to stand on one of the tall rocks and shoot a flaming arrow into the air to signal your distress. You shoot the arrow with an initial speed of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal. The arrow hits the ground 7.50 seconds later. (Neglect air resistance.) (a) What maximum height does the arrow reach above its launch point? (b) Relative to the launch point, where does the projectile land? Give your answer in Cartesian (x,y) coordinates as well as polar (r,0) coordinates.

Question
You are hiking in the rocky canyon lands of Utah and eventually realize you are
lost. You climb up to stand on one of the tall rocks and shoot a flaming arrow into the air to
signal your distress. You shoot the arrow with an initial speed of 30.0 m/s at an angle of
60.0° above the horizontal. The arrow hits the ground 7.50 seconds later. (Neglect air
resistance.)
(a) What maximum height does the arrow reach above its launch point?
(b) Relative to the launch point, where does the projectile land? Give your answer in
Cartesian (x,y) coordinates as well as polar (r,0) coordinates.
