Abstract

The arrow glides through the air in a parabolic motion after it was shot with the bow. This arrow is installed with a device that measures its acceleration and speed. The device used for this measurement consists of an accelerometer sensor, Arduino Pro Mini, and a Micro SD card. Meanwhile, the sensor can test the acceleration, time, and elevation angle at 20°, 30°, as well as 45°. The results showed that the arrow maneuvres with an acceleration and initial velocity of 19.6 m/s2 and 9.8 m/s respectively. It also indicated that the arrow speed, the farthest distance, and the time of the highest point have the same values.
