Default RE: What arrow mass will achieve tha maximum momentum?

To use an extreme example if an arrow weighed exactly the same as the amount of energy that the bow was capable of applying tothatarrow then the bow would not be able to accelerate that arrow and the arrow would have zero KE.
This statement displays a complete lack of understanding of the physics envolved in launcing and arrow from a bow.

In one sentence, you confuse energy with force, you confuse weight and mass,and you imply that it is force acting against a forcethat explainsacceleration. Nice job! You really think that 1 pound of force won't accelerate a mass that weights 2 pounds. Lol. You, my friend are way out of your element.
