    Traditional target arrow (top) and replica medieval arrow (bottom) Modern arrow with plastic fletchings and nock An arrow is a fin-stabilized projectile launched by a bow.A typical arrow usually consists of a long, stiff, straight shaft with a weighty (and usually sharp and pointed) arrowhead attached to the front end, multiple fin-like stabilizers called fletchings mounted near the rear, and ...

    Max velocity of the remaining shell (mass about 0.1 mg) of an inertial confinement fusion capsule driven by the National Ignition Facility for the 'Bigfoot' capsule campaign. [32] Current fastest macroscopic human-made system. 450,000: 1,600,000: 1,000,000 0.0015: Typical speed of a particle of the solar wind, relative to the Sun. 552,000: ...

  4. Ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistics

    The arrow is perhaps the first lethal projectile ever described in discussion of ballistics. A string joins the two ends and when the string is drawn back, the ends of the stick are flexed. When the string is released, the potential energy of the flexed stick is transformed into the velocity of the arrow. [12]

  6. Trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory

    t = time from launch, T = time of flight, R = range and H = highest point of trajectory (indicated with arrows). The range, R, is the greatest distance the object travels along the x-axis in the I sector. The initial velocity, v i, is the speed at which said object is launched from the

  7. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    The tangential arrow represents the tangential linear velocity (m/min or sfm) at the outer diameter of the cutter, called the "cutting speed", "surface speed", or simply the "speed" by machinists. The arrow colinear with the slot that has been milled represents the linear velocity at which the cutter is advanced laterally (usually mm/min or ...

  8. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    The body may be represented by a small symbolic blob and the diagram reduces to a set of concurrent arrows. A force on a particle is a bound vector. rigid extended. Stresses and strains are of no interest but rotational effects are. A force arrow should lie along the line of force, but where along the line is irrelevant.

  9. Pyeonjeon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyeonjeon

    'Pyeonjeon', (aka "(편전)", "Junjun") or aegisal ("애기살" or "baby arrow" or sometimes "mini-arrow") is a short arrow or bolt, shot using a longer bamboo arrow guide called the tongah in Korean archery. The tongah (aka "Tong-ah") allows one to draw a short arrow at a full draw length with a full sized bow, it is an overdraw device.
