Question

You have discovered an archery field. The find includes a full lane with the line from which arrows are shots, and a target with an arrow stuck in it. You measure the distance from the line to target to be 27.4 meters. The arrow has landed at an angle of 4 degrees below the horizontal. To help confirm if this is a legitimate find, calculate the velocity at which the arrow was launched. Assume the initial velocity toward the target is entirely horizontal, and the angle of the arrow in the target is the direction of the final velocity.

Answer 1

43.82 m/s
