You fire an arrow horizontally at 110m/s from chest height (1.5m) at a target 50m away. How much time does it take for the arrow to reach the target after it is fired? How much does the arrow drop before hitting the target? If the target is 1.0m off the ground, does the arrow hit?

It takes 0.455 seconds for the arrow to reach the target. Before hitting the target, the arrow drops 1.01 meters. Since the target is 1.0 meter off the ground, the arrow will hit the target.
