Homework Statement
An archer shoots an arrow over level ground. The arrow leaves the bow at a height of 1.50 m with an initial velocity of 79.5 m/s in a horizontal direction. At what horizontal distance (in m) does this arrow strike the ground? The answer is 44m but I don't know how to get to that answer.
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried to attempt the solution using V=Vo+at to find t then using X=Xo+Vot+(1/2)at^2 to find X but it gives the wrong answer. Not exactly sure where I am going wrong or if I am using the right equations or not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
