and he has a bow which is aimed 40 degrees from the horizontal. He
can release the bow with an initial velocity of 15 m/s. An
animal is below the cliff and is moving towards the boy at a
velocity of 5 m/s. For the bow to hit the animal, at what distance
D should the animal be when the bow is fired?

- In your Christmas Party, one of the games is Egg Catching. Suppose You throw the egg at a 45° angle to your friend standing 30.5 m away.

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) a) At what point during the arrow's flight will it be moving the fastest? (Be careful here, think about it. You don't need to do any calculations to figure this out.) b) How long will it take for the arrow to hit the ground?c) How far will the arrow travel during this time period?arrow_forwardA minigolf ball is on a perfectly horizontal surface, x = 2 m away from the center of the hole.

The ball can be launched at TWO possible angles with the horizontal for the ball to get in the hole. We want your to find these two angles.arrow_forward
