An archer shoots an arrow straight up at 76.7 m/s.
(a) How high does the arrow rise?
You didn't spec what value to use for gravity.
Using 10 m/sec/sec:
The rise time = 76.7/10 = 7.67 seconds
Its average speed is 76.7/2 = 38.35 m/sec
max height = 7.67*38.35 = 294.1445 meters
============================================
(b) How much time is the arrow in the air?
Rise and fall time are equal.
7.67*2 = 15.34 seconds
------------------------
(c) What is the arrow's velocity when it reaches the same height that it was shot from?
Same as the launch speed = 76.7 m/sec
Speed, not velocity.
