The tip of an arrow is pointed and so it exerts very little pressure on the water surface. Also the shape of the arrow is streamlined so that it has as little Resistance as possible. However, the tip of the regular bullet is blunt and so it exerts more force than the arrow when it comes in contact with the water surface. And the deflection of the bullet in the water will be more than that of the arrow away from the normal due to reflective index.

Will a arrow penatrate through a tin can of sand better than a 22 long rifle bullet?
Depending on the arrow, yes, it may. A .22LR bullet is fairly light weight (40 grains) is is relatively blunt. The arrow weighs more, and is shaped to push through material.
Is water faster than a bullet?
Yes
Why is it that ship floats deeper in fresh water than in the sea water?
sea water is denser.
A wave moving in water that is deeper than half its wavelength is called what?

What is a wave moving in water deeper than half its wavelength called?
deep water waves
Why metal not rusting under the water deeper than 10 m?
aluminium
Why soft corals live in deeper water than hard corals?
soft corals live deeper water than hard corals because soft corals do not create a hard outer skeleton as the hard corals do.
What happens when a bullet hits water?
Depends on the angle at which the bullet hits the water. At a shallow angle (less than 45 degrees) the bullet may bounce off the water, just as if it had hit a hard surface. At more direct angles, the bullet will splash, and may be deflected from a straight path. It will stop fairly quickly due to the resistance of the water.
What is deeper than a nick?
A gouge is deeper than a nick.
Why do boat sink deeper in salt water than fresh water?
Thats not true. Salt water is more dense than fresh water so the boat wont sink as much
Can you shoot a bow and arrow under water?
It can be done. However, the characteristics of how the arrow travels underwater will be substantially different than how it flies through the air.
Wells from which pressurized water flows to the surface are called?
Artesian Wells. Water can be brought to the surface, natural air pressure, providing it is no deeper than 34 feet. (Air pressure allows for this). Water any deeper than 34 feet, requires a pressure system to bring it to the surface.
