Pictured below are eight arrows that have been shot horizontally, i.e., straight out, by archers on platforms.
All of the arrows are identical, but they have been shot at different speeds from platforms of varying
height. Specific values for the speeds and of varying heights are given in the figures. All of the arrows miss
the targets and hit the ground.
Rank these arrows, from longest to shortest, on the basis of how long it takes the arrows to hit the ground.
That is, put first the arrow that will take the longest time from being shot to hitting the ground, and put last
the arrow that will take the shortest time.
