Read and analyze the problem below then solve. Show a complete solution with illustration.

 

1. The range R of a projectile fired at an acute angle e with the horizontal and with an initial velocity of v meters per second is given by

R=V²/g sin20

where g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.81 m/sec² near the Earth's surface.

 

An archer targets an object 100 meters away from her position. If she positions her arrow at an angle of 32° and releases the arrow at the speed of 30 m/sec. will she hit her target? (Show your calculations.)
