Answer:

  about 602 milliseconds

Explanation:

The motion can be approximated by the equation ...

  y = -4.9t^2 -22.8t +15.5

where t is the time since the arrow was released, and y is the distance above the ground.

When y=0, the arrow has hit the ground.

Using the quadratic formula, we find ...

  t = (-(-22.8) ± √((-22.8)^2 -4(-4.9)(15.5)))/(2(-4.9))

  = (22.8 ± √823.64)/(-9.8)

The positive solution is ...

  t ≈ 0.60195193

It takes about 602 milliseconds for the arrow to reach the ground.

Ann [662]

I attached a free body diagram for a better understanding of this problem.

We start making summation of Moments in A,

\sum M_A = 0

P(6cos\theta)-981(4cos\theta)=0

P=654N

Then we make a summation of Forces in Y,

\sum F_y = 0

654+R-981 = 0

R=327N

At the end we calculate the angle with the sin.

sin\theta = \frac{3m}{4m+2m+2m} = \frac{3m}{8m}

\theta = 22.02\°

Softa [21]
<span>In 1964, while experimenting with the Holmdel Horn Antenna, which was used as a radio telescope, Penzias and Wilson accidentally discovered the microwave background radiation that exists universally. The Holmdel Horn Antenna was used to support the "Big Bang Theory" as opposed to the "Steady State Theory".</span>

kramer

Answer: because of air resistance. See explanation for further details.

Explanation: Galileo performed an experiment to proof that the time of descent of two different masses is independent of time.

But in reality this is most likely not true because of air resistance and other fluid frictional effects in consideration.

If the experiment is performed in a vacuum, it will always be true that time is independent of masses of two falling objects.
