Stop arguing ... thats what i said !!

What thats what I said ...... no wait I killed the squirrels with a train nevermind.

i agree =D

I think that we need to just accept the fact that Legolas is god and would be able to shoot 10 arrows at once if he wanted to, but didn't have enough time to grab them.

Therefore, he had to make do with three.

Re: Physics problem
 

exactly what i've been trying to tell you people!!! eesh! :rolleyes:

Re: Physics problem
 

yes...legolas is GoDddd....*droolz....
:p
haha sorry hun...u cute too :D lol

Re: Physics problem
 

haha ... is it just coz he has really long hair isnt it !! ;)

Re: Physics problem
 

no! ....=/.... i dunno...hmm..come to think about...not my type.. :p

Re: Physics problem
 

yes... not your type o.O

Re: Physics problem
 

Hmm I didn't read anyone's post .............so sorry about that :p

Re: Physics problem
 

Ok I realised that I have a scale plastic bow (actually Faramir's toy bow :p) so I did some research this morning.

Looks like I'm more right than you are. :D When I shot 1 arrow, it got like more than 2 meters far. When I shot 3 at a time, it wasn't even 1 meter.

When I was firing the stupid toy arrows, it all made sense to me. Something light (without much air resistance) goes much farther than something that's 3 times as heavy.

So there's no way you can create a lot more damage by firing 3 at once.

Re: Physics problem
 

Except that he is hitting in 3 spots instead of one, so who knows.

I think Legolas=God is a better explanation...

Re: Physics problem
 

Umm... I can imagine the resistance on that bow to be like 5 lbs... Maybe less... If that's the case, then the power's going to be expended WAY faster because there's WAY less of it in comparison to an every day bow. Not to mention you're contending with giving all of the arrows the correct trajectory and nocking three arrows securely at the same time.

There are other factors that are affecting your experiment. If you're talking about sheer force behind the three, in a perfect closed system, they would all have the same. That was your initial question. That's the question we're answering.
