< BackNext >PreviewMain Chapter 6 CRCT Preparation 11. In archery, you use a bow to shoot an arrow at a target. Why must an archer point the arrow a little above the target in order to hit the target in the center? What forces are involved?

< BackNext >PreviewMain 11. Answer - Full credit answers should include the following points: The arrow moves in a curved path according to projectile motion. The arrow’s horizontal velocity is constant if you ignore air resistance. The arrow’s vertical velocity increases because gravity causes it to accelerate downward. The archer must aim slightly upwards of the target in order to compensate for acceleration due to gravity. Chapter 6 CRCT Preparation
