The Attempt at a Solution
I don't know how to break this information down into finding a velocity using these equations
The formula for calculating the speed of an arrow is: Speed = (Force x Distance) / Weight
The weight of an arrow directly affects its speed. A heavier arrow requires more force to travel the same distance as a lighter arrow, resulting in a slower speed.
The distance the arrow travels also plays a significant role in its speed. The longer the distance, the more time the arrow has to accelerate, resulting in a higher speed.
Yes, the force used to launch the arrow can greatly impact its speed. The more force applied, the greater the acceleration and resulting speed of the arrow.
There is no one ideal weight, force, or distance for achieving maximum speed of an arrow. It depends on various factors such as the type of bow and arrow, the strength of the archer, and the desired distance of the shot.
