Not exactly sure but i believe when you pull back on the bowstring your giving it more potential energy that, when released, transfers more kinetic energy to the arrow allowing it to fly farther.

Your arrow should match the draw weight. In your case the "spine" or stiffness will be too much. Assuming the arrow was matched to begin with.


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.


What does draw weight mean when referring to bows?

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.
