An arrow is shot from a height of 1.55 m toward a cliff of height H. It is shot with a velocity of 26 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal. It lands on the top edge of the cliff 3.99 s later.

(a) Draw a sketch of the given example. Include the x-y coordinate system.

(b) What is the height of the cliff?

(c) What is the maximum height reached by the arrow along its trajectory?

(d) What is the arrow's impact speed just before hitting the cliff?

    vertical component of the velocity of arrow

    = 26 sin 60 = 22.516 m

    height reached by it after 3.99 s

    h = ut - 1/2 g t²

    = 22.516 x 3.99 -.5 x 9.8 x 3.99²

    = 89.83 - 78

    11.83 m

    Total height of cliff = 1.55 + 11.83

    = 13.38 m

    c) maximum height covered s

    v² = u² - 2gs

    0 = u² - 2gs

    s = u² / 2g

    = 22.516² / 2 x 9.8

    = 25.86

    maximum height reached

    = 25.86 + 1.55

    = 27.41 m

    d)

    vertical speed after 3.99 s

    v = u - gt

    = 22.516 - 9.8 x 3.99

    = - 16.586

    Horizontal component will remain unchanged

    Horizontal component = 26 cos 60

    = 13 m / s

    Resultant of two velocities

    = √ 13² + 16.568²

    = 21 m / s
