Robin Hood wishes to split an arrow already in the bull's-eye of a target 40 m away.

Response:

5.843 m

Explanation:

Assuming the arrow is released horizontally towards the target’s bull's eye,

we consider the horizontal motion.

Distance = speed * time.

Calculating time gives us: 40/ 37 = 1.081 s.

The arrow lacks an initial vertical velocity component, but vertical motion occurs due to gravity, potentially causing a miss.

Applying the motion equation (with g assumed as 10 m/s²):

If the arrow is shot horizontally, it misses the target by 5.843 m.
