Default RE: To heck with KE formulas and theories

You are confusing acceleration and velocity and what I said is not my theory it is Newtons 2nd law of motion.
No I am not confusing anything. I am talking about the amount of energy produced. You said that a 40 lb bow would launch an object 32.16 feet. I merely pointed out that your calculation was bogus because there are other factos that go in to how far it could potentially launch an object because the two different bows will produce different amounts of energy and will therefore launch the object different distances (if they will at all which I do not believe they will). However we digress. I realize this is a different subject I just wanted to visit your proclamation and point out that it was infact invalid. Just trying to set a precedent here

Of course but this doesn't have anything to do with what we have been discussing. We have been talking about heavier arrows being shot from the same bow all things being equal are more efficient and carry more KE. And the answer is...
That was before you boldly proclaimed how far a 40 lb bow would launch a 40 lb object. Which goes back to my point about you trying to use calculations to give you answers about real world scenarios and there inability to do so.
