Solve the following Problem using the Horizontal Projection Equation. An archer shoots an arrow horizontally at a target 15 m away. The arrow is aimed directly at the center of the target but it hits 25 cm lower. What is the initial velocity of the arrow? A firefighter jumps out of the window  into a net. If the window is 25 m above the net, (a.) At what speed does the firefighter hit the net? (b.) How long will it take the firefighter to hit the net? A little girl throws her jackstone ball horizontally out of the window with a velocity of 30 m/s. If the window is 3 m above the ground. How far will the ball travel before it hits the ground?
