Interesting! Horizontal distance covered by arrow=20m=Vx(t),

put Time=t=0.5s, so Vx=20/.5=40m/s.

Now let us consider vertical motion of the arrow,

Vertical distance=4m-1m=3m. so Use Second equation of motion now.

Y=Vy(t) - gt2/2.

Subtituting the values,

3=Vy(0.5) - 9.8(.5)2/2. Solving for Vy, we get,

Vy= 8.45m/s and Vx=40m/s. now

V2=(Vx2+Vy2) or V2=(8.45)(8.45)+(40)(40)=71.40+1600=1671.40m/s, so

V=(1671.40)1/2=40.88m/s. That is the answer!
