Homework Statement
An arrow, starting from rest, leaves the bow with a speed of 27.5 m/s. If the average force exerted on the arrow by the bow was increased 3 times and the arrow was accelerated over the same distance, then with what speed would the arrow leave the bow?
Homework Equations
F = ma, obviously. So if 3F = 3ma, then the acceleration would triple, because the mass of the arrow remains the same.
Vx=V0+at
The Attempt at a Solution
3*27.5 is wrong, so tripling the force doesn't automatically triple the initial velocity. I don't feel like I have enough information to work this problem, honestly.
Does anyone have any suggestions or help to offer?
