Don’t Try This At Home…

Seriously, don’t even consider it!

Thanks to Mr T for sending me a link to this utterly mad video about Danish archer Lars Andersen.

Questions…

  1. What form of energy is stored in the bow when drawn?
  2. Once fired, will the arrow accelerate, decelerate or a bit of both?
  3. What forces are acting on the arrow in flight?
  4. Suggest a reason arrowheads are pointed.
