Consider the act of shooting an arrow with a bow. As you set the arrow in place, you pull straight back on the bow a distance of 0.35 m. Releasing it from rest, the arrow is uniformly accelerated by the bow until it reaches a speed of 30 m/s as it leaves.
a) Calculate the acceleration of the arrow in the bow.
b) After you release it, how much time does it take for the arrow to reach the final speed?
c) How far has the arrow traveled when the speed is 20 m/s?
d) How fast is the arrow going when the bow pushes it for 0.05 m?
