Review | Constants An archer standing on a 15° slope shoots an arrow 20° above the horizontal, as shown in the figure (Figure 1) Part A How far down the slope does the arrow hit if it is shot with a speed of 50 m/s? Hint: There are several strategies to solve this problem. This hint discusses two different methods. Method 1: The arrow must land on the slope, so write y(x) of the slope as y= tan(phi)*x, where phi is angle of the slope and it must be negative. Note that you need to define a coordinate system, which you might assign the origin at the position of the archer, and +x is to the right in graphic. All angles must be with respect to the positive x direction. The slope angle in the picture does not conform to this requirement so you have to determine the slope angle from the information given. That is why you should write-phi for the angle of the slope. The distance down the slope is just the sqrt[(displacement in x)^2+(displacement in y)^2]. Strategy: write the usual kinematic equations for x(t) and y(t) with v0 and launch angle theta since both are given to you. Subtitute y(t) with the equation tan(phi)*x to get two equations for x as a function of t. From those two equations, solve for time of flight, t, of the arrow. Once t is known, you can solve for displacement in x from the usual kinematic equation x(t) and you obtain the displacement in y from the usual kinematic equation for the y-component. Figure 1 of 1 20° Method 2: If you use a rotated coordinate system, so that +x lies in the down direction of the slope, then x is the distance. However in this coordinate system, gravitational acceleration has both x and y components, so this method requires that you solve the kinematic equations for acceleration in both y and x 15° Determine and x and y components for gravitational acceleration, call them g_x and g_y. You should be able to use geometry to determine that g_x= g*sin(phi) and g_y=-g*cos(phi), where phi is the angle of the slope P Pearson Review | Constants uiSpiactITEN TA IIUMI UIE usuai NUEITIALIU EquaLIUIT A[LY aiu yuu UDlaii iE ulSpiauEITIENN ILI y inUTI LUIE An archer standing on a 15° slope shoots an arrow 20° above the horizontal, as shown in the figure (Figure 1) usual kinematic equation for the y-component.

Also, the final v_y is the negative of the initial v_y, so computing the time of flight is similar to the basic projectile motion problems from last week. So t-2"v0*sin(theta')/g_y.
