Arrow Force Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the arrow force (AF) is:

\[ AF = \frac{1}{2} \times m \times V^2 \div d \]

Where:

\( AF \) is the arrow force (N)
\( m \) is the mass of the arrow (kg)
\( V \) is the velocity of the arrow (m/s)
\( d \) is the stopping distance (m)

What is Arrow Force?

An arrow force is the total force an arrow exerts on a target when it strikes. The total arrow force depends on the arrow’s mass, velocity, and stopping distance.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Mass of the Arrow (\( m \)): 0.05 kg
Velocity of the Arrow (\( V \)): 30 m/s
Stopping Distance (\( d \)): 0.1 m

Step 1: Calculate the arrow force:

\[ AF = \frac{1}{2} \times 0.05 \times 30^2 \div 0.1 = 225 \text{ N} \]

Therefore, the arrow force is 225 N.
