How long does it take for the arrow to return to the ground?

An arrow is shot straight up at an initial velocity of 250 m/s. How long will it take to hit the ground? Socratic.

How long does it take for an arrow to fall back down?

When you shoot an arrow at 90º, the arrow will reach its vertex, then it will disappear. Then another arrow will spawn way above it on a different (seemingly constrained, but random) axis, and will fall back to the ground. It takes ~14 seconds for the arrow to fall, from when it was launched.

What is the maximum height the arrow will go?

We know acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/sec/sec. Assuming the arrow spends as much time falling as it did rising, it should be in the air for approximately 5 seconds. Maximum height – attained 2.5 seconds after release – is 30.6 m, as you stated above.

Does an arrow gain speed?

When arrow released from bow, potential energy convert into kinetic energy and arrow speeds up. Maximum velocity will be obtained when string is stretched to its maximum.

How far will the cannonball fly horizontally before it strikes the ground?

The cannon ball will fly 320 m before hitting the ground.

How fast does a bow and Arrow travel?

Arrows: Speed and Distance This chart shows an arrow traveling 270 f.p.s. compared to the speed of projectiles of other hunting methods. The hand-drawn, hand-held and handreleased bow and arrow is a low velocity, high-trajectory, short-range system. An arrow traveling 270 f.p.s. = 184 mph.

How much does arrow weight affect arrow velocity?

Tests show that, depending on total arrow weight, on average, the reduction of 4 to 6 grains of arrow weight will produce an increase of one foot per second in arrow velocity.

How fast does a bullet travel with 6 grains?

A bullet traveling 2,700 f.p.s. = 1,840 mph. Tests show that, depending on total arrow weight, on average, the reduction of 4 to 6 grains of arrow weight will produce an increase of one foot per second in arrow velocity.

How far can a bullet travel?

The bullet will travel to 100 yards with very little drop in trajectory. Even a very fast arrow has a pronounced trajectory arc, therefore yardage estimation is very critical to archery. The graph above compares the trajectory of an arrow and a bullet. Note the arrow dropped 114″ at 50 – 60 yards.
