Hey Guys So for my physics class we were asked to create a problem related to the velocity and acceleration of an object. I thought it would be cool to have it relate to archery. For the problem I need the initial velocity of the arrow and the final velocity. I know the initial velocity but does anyone know how much velocity is lost after the arrow travels 10, 20, or 30 yards? The arrow isnt hitting an object so I know the final velocity is not 0. Thanks for your help! Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk
Get a Chrono and shoot through it at those distances easier than calulating it so many variables "just don't miss and hit you chrono.
You can a good chrono for less 150 cheaper on ebay and amazon. Good investments sorry not intial question related.
You can get an archery program like archers advantage and it will give you terminal velocities at different distances without fear of shooting the chrono and it will be cheaper. However, it will be theoretical numbers verses actual tested numbers. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
You will never get someone to allow you to shoot farther than in front of a crono and that could be scary unless you own your own. As mentioned above, download the Archers Advantage software, or similar program off the net. Go to the pro shop and get accurate arrow weight, draw weight and the program will assist you in the factors to determine your objective. I used it to build a sight tape for my Tommy Hogg and it worked great. It will print out misc. reports for distances and speed. I am not a mathematics major so this is as far as I go. Good Luck!
