The speed of an arrow fired from a com- pound bow is about 59 m/s. An archer sits astride his horse and launches an arrow into the air, elevating the bow at an angle of 30 above the horizontal and 3.1 m above the ground. 59 m/s 30 T 3.1 m range What is the arrow's range? The acceler- ation of gravity is 9.81 m/s. Assume the ground is leveland ignore air resistance. m. Answer in units of m. Answer in units of part 2 of 2 Now assume his horse is at full gallop, mov- ing in the same direction as he will fire the arrow, and that he elevates the bow the same way as before. What is the range of the arrow at this time if the horse's speed is 32 m/s? m. Answer in units of m. Answer in units of The speed of an arrow fired from a com- pound bow is about 59 m/s.
