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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Will ice float deeper in water or in paraffin?
Ice will float deeper in water than in paraffin. This is because the density of ice is lower than that of water, making it buoyant in water. However, paraffin has a lower density than water, so ice will sink deeper in paraffin.
Is water faster than a bullet?
No, a bullet travels faster than water. The speed of a bullet can vary depending on the type and caliber, but it is generally much faster than the speed of sound in air (about 343 meters per second or 1,235 kilometers per hour), while water only flows at a few meters per second.
A wave moving in water that is deeper than half its wavelength is called what?
A deep-water wave.
Why do boat sink deeper in salt water than fresh water?
Boats sink deeper in salt water than in fresh water because salt water is denser than fresh water. This greater density exerts more buoyant force on the boat, causing it to sink deeper. Additionally, the salt in the water can also affect the buoyancy of certain materials used in the boat.
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.
Are lakes generally larger and deeper than ponds?
Yes, lakes are typically larger and deeper than ponds. Lakes are usually defined as bodies of water that are larger and deeper than ponds, with no clear size distinction but generally larger than 20 acres. Ponds, on the other hand, are smaller bodies of water that are not as deep.
Why is it that ship floats deeper in fresh water than in the sea water?
A ship floats deeper in fresh water than in sea water because fresh water is less dense than sea water due to a lower concentration of salts and minerals. This lower density causes less buoyant force to be exerted on the ship, making it float deeper in fresh water in order to displace an equivalent volume of the less dense liquid.
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.
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.
What is deeper than a nick?
A gouge is deeper than a nick.
