Homework Statement
An Archer standing on a 15 degree slope shoots an arrow 20 degrees above the horizontal. how far down the slope does the arrow hit if it is shot with a speed of 50m/s from 1.75m above the ground
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
y component = 50 * cos(20 + 15) - 9.8(t)
x component = 50 * sin (20 + 15)
not sure if the angles can be added..
if they can't then you'd have to do like 50cos(20) - 9.8t = -(1.75 + t*tan(15) ) with the arrow 's initial point being the origin. going from there, though, I'm not sure what to do
