In the absence of air resistance, a projectile is launched from and returns to ground level. It has a range of 16m. Suppose the launch speed is doubled, and the projectile is fired at the same angle above the ground. What is the new range?

A guy is standing on a relatively flat surface (h = 0 m). A pesky drone is flying overhead at a height of 120 m above the ground and with a velocity of 15 m/s. The guy gets annoyed and fires an arrow with an initial velocity of 100 m/s the instant the horizontal distance between him and the drone is 5 m. At what angle must he fire the arrow in order to hit the drone? Take the guy's height to be 1.8 m. Just to clarify, would shooting an arrow follow the same rules as a regular projectile motion problem? Thanks.
An archer aims at a target. Suppose the archer’s arrow is 1.2m above the ground, the bull’s eye is 43m away and at aheight of 1.8m, and she can shoot the arrow at an initial speed of 28m/s. It is a calm day with nowind so you ignore air resistance. At what angle should she aim her arrow to hit the bull’s eye?
