You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics, you ask one of the archers to shoot an arrow parallel to the ground. Unfortunately the archer stands on an elevated platform of unknown height. However, you find the arrow stuck in the ground 56.0 m away, making a 2.00 ∘ angle with the ground.
How fast was the arrow shot?
An experimentalist in a laboratory finds that a particle has a helical path. The position of this particle in the laboratory frme is given by
r(t)= R cos(wt)i + R sin(wt)j + vztk
R,vz, and w are constants. A moving frame has velocity (Vm)L= vzk relative to the laboratory frame.

When the gun is fired at an angle of 25 ∘∘ above horizontal, the ball hits the bull's-eye of a target at the same height as the gun. Then the target distance is halved. At what angle must you aim the gun to hit the bull's-eye in its new position?
