Question

4. An arrow is shot horizontally with a velocity of 12 m/s. If the range is 24 m, how long is the
arrow in the air?
(A) 0.50 s
(B) 2.0 s
(C) 12 s
(D) 24 s

Answer 1

Answer:

2s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity of the arrow = 12m/s

Range  = 24m

Unknown:

Time  = ?

Solution:

The range is the horizontal distance covered by the arrow.

 Therefore;

  Time  = $\frac{Range}{velocity }$  

 So;

  Time  = $\frac{24}{12}$   = 2s
