You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics, you ask one of the archers to shoot an arrow parallel to the ground. You find the arrow stuck in the ground 52.0 away, making a 3.00 angle with the ground.

How fast was the arrow shot in m/s?

v = 69.82 ms^-1

Explanation:

As we know,

R = vi2 sin2Ꝋ / g  

vi2 =R g / sin2 Ꝋ where R is range R = 52m, Ꝋ = 3 Degrees

vi2 = 52 x 9.8 / sin 2(3) = 4875.227

v = 69.82 ms^-1
