swansont Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 ! Moderator Note This isn't really a science question, and is something you should be able to find with a search engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prashantakerkar Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Thanks. https://www.real-world-physics-problems.com/physics-of-archery.html I am fascinated by the physics of archery sport. Interestingly, can there be Archers who are left handed and won gold medals at the Olympics? I doubt.

I can’t see any reason why not. Why would you doubt it? Have searched for any? Not surprisingly, there is at least one: https://www.teamusa.org/usa-archery/news/Features/2015/April/21/CEO-Denise-Parker-Archery-Will-Always-Have-a-Place-in-Me And no doubt many others. This still has nothing to do with physics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prashantakerkar Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Thanks. Archery - Bow & Arrow sport. Do you feel the law of conservation of momentum can be applied in physics? Thanks & Regards, Prashant S Akerkar -2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a law of physics. What has this got to do with the Olympics, being left handed or gold medals? At this rate, the thread will be moved to Trash, I suspect.

Moderator Note New poster + eager mind = a few mistakes. Let's electronically crumple this one up, hit the bin, and start over. prashantakerkar, being more specific about what you wish to discuss will result in a better conversation. Does being left-handed change the physics of archery much at the Olympic level? This is an opportunity to ask expert level questions. Feel free to start a better opening post.
