An arrow fired horizontally at 44 m/s travels a horizontal distance of 28 m before it hits the ground. A) Determine the final velocity vector of the arrow just before it hits the ground, using unit vector notation. B) Calculate the magnitude and angle of the arrow's final velocity just before it hits the ground.

An arrow is shot from a height of 1.6 m toward a cliff of height H. It is shot with a velocity of 28 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal. It lands on the top edge of the cliff 3.66 s later. Question: What is the arrow's speed just before hitting the cliffs in m/s?

Two arrows are shot vertically upward. The second arrow is shot after the first one, but while the first is still on its way up. The initial speeds are such that both arrows reach their maximum heights at the same instant, although these heights are different. Suppose that the initial speed of the first arrow is $25.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ and that the second arrow is fired $1.20 \mathrm{s}$ after the first. Determine the initial speed of the second arrow.
