An arrow is fired horizontally off a cliff. The initial speed of the arrow is 250 ft/s and the cliff is 22 ft high. How far from the base of the cliff does the arrow land?
Homework Equations
y=1/2a(t^2)
x=vt
The Attempt at a Solution
Vertical:
y=1/2 a(t^2)
t=(√2y)/a
t=2.12 s
Horizontal:
x=vt
x=250(2.12)
x=530 ft.
Is this answer correct? Thanks in advance!
