7 An arrow is fired from a point at a height of 1.5 metres above horizontal ground. It has an initial velocity of \(12 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) at an angle of \(30 ^ { \circ }\) above the horizontal. The arrow hits a target at a height of 1 metre above horizontal ground. The path of the arrow is shown in the diagram.

Model the arrow as a particle.
- Show that the time taken for the arrow to travel to the target is 1.30 seconds, correct to three significant figures.
- Find the horizontal distance between the point where the arrow is fired and the target.
- Find the speed of the arrow when it hits the target.
- Find the angle between the velocity of the arrow and the horizontal when the arrow hits the target.
- State one assumption that you have made about the forces acting on the arrow.
