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.

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

The kinematic equations are relatively straightforward because in this coordinate sytem the arrows
initial and final y-position is zero. 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
