Answer:
41.74 m/s
Explanation:
The energy used to draw the bowstring = the kinetic energy of the arrow.
Fd = 1/2mv²................................ Equation 1
Where F = force, d = distance move string, m = mass of the arrow, v = speed of the arrow.
make v the subject of the equation
v = √(2Fd/m)...................... Equation 2
Given: F = 201 N, m = 0.3 kg, d = 1.3 m.
Substitute into equation 2
v = √(2×201×1.3/0.3)
v = √(1742)
v = 41.74 m/s.
Hence the arrow leave the bow with a speed of 41.74 m/s
