The mass of the arrow does not affect the kinetic enery of the projectile. It does however affect the velocity of the arrow. The heavier the arrow the slower it flies ( out of the same bow). As far as penertation goes, velocity is your friend. There is alot of material science that goes into play but generally the faster projectile wins in penetration tests.

Does a flying arrow have kinetic energy?

Yes, a flying arrow has kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, and since the arrow is in motion, it has kinetic energy. The amount of kinetic energy depends on the mass and velocity of the arrow.


What type of energy does an arrow have moving?

It has, or possesses, Kinetic Energy: the Energy of Motion.


What will the kinetic energy be of an arrow after it is shot if it has a mass of 10 g and has a potential energy of 50 joules before it is shot?

If all of the potential energy is transferred to the arrow's motion as kinetic energy,then when the shot is complete and before any effect of air resistance has kicked in,its kinetic energy is 50 joules.KE = (mass) x (speed)250 = (.01) x V2V = sqrt(5000) = 70.711 meters per second, as it leaves the bow.Oops! Please excuse us. We thought you were going for the arrow's speed as it leftthe bow. Now we notice that you only wanted its kinetic energy. That's 50 joules,and it doesn't make any difference what its mass is. That was a 10-gram red herring.


How do you draw an elevator free body diagram?

Draw an arrow pointing upwards for the tension force and an arrow pointing downwards for the weight of the elevator which will be its mass times gravity (mg). Also, draw another arrow pointing downwards for any mass that may be inside the elevator (another mass times gravity arrow but for a separate weight) and add that value to that of the weight of the elevator. Depending on the direction that the elevator is moving (up or down) draw another arrow respectively and label it "a" for acceleration.


Which of these has the most effect on an objects inertia?

The mass of an object has the most effect on its inertia. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its motion, and this resistance is directly proportional to the object's mass. Objects with greater mass have greater inertia.

Do you think that modern day sports javelins could be used effectively to hunt game as large as deer if it were accurate enough?

i would say definitely, and would impress the girls like crazy.if you can get a mass of the javelin and somehow calculate or measure the velocity at different distances you could work out the kinetic energy, and by comparing that to a bullet and arrow you could get at least a rough idea of the penetration power.
