Question

4. An arrow is shot horizontally with a velocity of 12 m/s. If the range is 24 m, how long is the

arrow in the air?
(A) 0.50 s
(B) 2.0 s
(C) 12 s
(D) 24 s

Answer 1

2s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity of the arrow = 12m/s

Range = 24m

Unknown:

Time = ?

Solution:

The range is the horizontal distance covered by the arrow.

Therefore;

Time =
`(Range)/(velocity )`

So;

Time =
`(24)/(12)` = 2s
