Does a heavy arrow or a light arrow have more kinetic energy when shot from a compound bow?

They will both have the same kinetic energy if fired from the same bow. the heavy arrow will shoot slower but hit harder while the light arrow would shoot fast but wont impact as hard. the difference wouldnt be noticible.

A heavy arrow will have more kinetic energy when shot from a compound bow compared to a light arrow. Kinetic energy is determined by both the mass and velocity of an object. Although a heavy arrow may have a lower initial velocity, its greater mass compensates and results in higher kinetic energy than a lighter arrow.

Does a light arrow or a heavy arrow have more kinetic energy?
The kinetic energy of the arrow is dependent on its weight and the speed at which it is launched. if you use one bow to fire two different sized arrows, they will both have the SAME kinetic energy. a heavy arrow will shoot slower but hit harder while the light arrow will fly faster but wont impact as hard.
What are the energy that transfers lifting a heavy mass?
Kinetic energy
What type of energy exists when a heavy book slams into a door?
kinetic energy
Which has the greater kinetic energy a light car or a heavy truck?
Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity (or speed): KE = (1/2)mv2. At the same speed, obviously the heavier (and more massive) object will have more kinetic energy.
How do you get kinetic energy in a toy race track?
Make the place a little steep to go down. If its a light car or paper car then the object can't receive kinetic energy. If its a heavy car then your chances of getting kinetic energy would be 89.68%.
What is mechanical energy to kinetic energy and potential energy?
Mechanical energy Created contained or directed by machineKinetic Energy : the energy in movementPotential energy : a heavy weight on a cliff is a good example, it has all the energy that it will release or use if it falls
How can nuclear energy be tranferred in to kinetic energy?
This seems very unlikely. Nuclear reactors need a lot of heavy shielding so are not suitable for transport purposes
Is alpha strongly or weakly ionising?
alpha particle is a strong ionizer as its mass is heavy and hence its kinetic energy is more.
How is kinetic energy turned into potential?
One is a weight on an elastic string, bobbing up and down. Each down/up involves potential-kinetic-elastic-kinetic-potential conversions. A transfer would also include placing a heavy weight on a spring-loaded platform. The reduced gravitational potential of the weight is stored as compression energy in the spring, which will rebound if the weight is removed.
Why if you drop a gold ball on pavement does not bounce highly?
because gold is heavy? and the concrete is too solid/dense to harness the kinetic energy from the fall of the gold ball because when it meets with the concrete the energy is turned into potential energy
Is mechanical kinetic energy or potential energy?
Potential energy is the energy that can be released, but has not been released yet. Ex. Sitting at the top of a slide is potential energy. You will eventually have to go down. Kinetic energy is the energy that is being released at any moment. Ex. As you slide down the slide kinetic energy is released.
The heavier a ball is the faster it fall and the faster it will roll down a ramp?
Yes, that is true because of kinetic energy, If something is heavy and you roll it down fast, then kinetic energy builds up.All other things being equal the mass of the ball has no effect on its acceleration. A fact discovered by Galileo.
