What tradition did the hopi and the anasazi share?

The Hopi were where they are now when the Anasazi were active in the same general area. The Hopi say, and science confirms, that some of there clans came from Anasazi areas. So, the biggest thing they share is that the Hopi are direct descendants of the Anasazi. Because of this they share: pottery traditions, weaving traditions, they both farm corn, beans, and squash and sunflowers and turkeys, and they share home building and kiva building styles. We think the kachina religion arose at the end of the Anasazi era. If so, they share that too. We don't know, because there are no written records, but they may share clan names, origin stories, general theology and cosmology as well.

What is the greatest American spectater sport?

When you ask using the word, "Greatest" American spectator sport, it complicates the answer a little bit, I believe. Because we must ask, what makes a sport "The Greatest Spectator" sport? Or what will we base that conclusion upon?

If we determine or define the "greatest" American spectator sport by the number of spectators annually then I believe we must conclude the league, "Major League Baseball" according to sources, again based upon the number of people attending the sporting events, MLB.

Now of course, if we say Major League Baseball is the "Greatest Spectator" sport in America, we might have various subjective opinions regarding that statement. In fact, based upon your question, it might be unclear regarding whether or not you are speaking of only professional spectator sports or in general, of all American spectator sports?

To know the exactness of your question would determine how exact the answer might be. In this case, I will assume you are inquiring of professional sports. Of course, to include college and even high school and grammar school etc. might change the answer, maybe.

How many kmh does an arrow go when shot with a 25 pound bow?

There is no way to tell the velocity of an arrow based solely on the draw weight. There are many other factors that come into play such as the type of arrow, point, fletching, nocks, inserts, release, the bow's efficiency, and even temperature. However, a recurve will probably spit out an arrow at roughly 100-175 kph. Draw weight does play a part but the factors mentioned above are more important.
