An arrow is a fin-stabilized projectile launched by a bow. A typical arrow usually consists of a long, stiff, straight shaft with a weighty (and usually sharp and pointed) arrowhead attached to the front end, multiple fin-like stabilizers called fletchings mounted near the rear, and a slot at the rear end called a nock for engaging the bowstring. A container or bag carrying additional arrows for convenient reloading is called a quiver.
The use of bows and arrows by humans predates recorded history and is common to most cultures. A craftsman who makes arrows is a fletcher (who were traditionally associated with the Worshipful Company of Fletchers in the City of London), and one that makes arrowheads is an arrowsmith.
Hello,
I am trying to get my head around this, maybe someone here can help. I have a force arrow diagram for gravitational forces of both Sun and the Earth. Can someone help me name these forces please.
Am I correct in thinking that force 1 is the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on...
