What would happen if you shoot an arrow 90 degree straight upward?

If you don't move, you'll get an arrow in the head.

first thing u should do is do draw the path of the projectile,  using only imagination, the ball will definetly fall down as it moves away from the table edge until it finally hits the floor.\n\nprojectile path is always parabolic, and the direction of the velocity vector is tangent to the path of the projectile at any point.\n\nat the initial state, the velocity vector was pointing left or right according to your assumption, but as the parabolic path falls down, the velocity vector points down with it, when the ball hits the floor the velocity vector will be perpendicular to the horizontal in the downward direction.\n\nso at 45 degrees downward, the velocity vector has two components, on in the horizontal V*cos(theta) and another downward V*sin(theta), to get how high the ball at this instant apply the same laws but use V*sin(theta) instead of V ,  and to find how far from the table use V*cos(theta) instead of V.\n\nhope this helped.

You wouldn't hit the snake, and the water has nothing to do with the trajectory of the bullet.\nWhat you want to keep in mind is the refraction of light in air compared to water.\nFor example, if you put a stick half in and half out of water, you'll notice that it doesn't look straight anymore.  The part in the water will be offset from the part in the air.\nTherefore if you aim directly at the snake, you'll miss.

it depends on how you orient your coordinates, but the gravitational acceleration opposes the velocity of the upward traveling ball, so if up is positive then yes the acceleration due to gravity is negative

Maybe if it just sheared the side of the tree.  It is not going to pass through an 18" thich tree.  No way.  I have shot a lot of trees just messing around with eveything from a 410 shotgun to a 30-06 and never have I had it penetrate very far.

depends on gun speed, wind speed, and the angle it has been shot at. my friend his his friend fron 120 yards away with a stock gun like the ones you find at walmart

draw a really thick line at reachable height and he will rocket in the air

you'll shoot your eye out.

the SEALS because 100 X 30 round clip = 3000 rounds in 8 to 10 seconds verses 1000 arrows with a time of flight 3 to 5 seconds. variable would be SEALS firing from prone position against archers who must fire from standing or on one knee. Arrows miss and 80% casualty's on archers in first 3 to 5 seconds. also with that much ammo crossing each other at 100 yards collisions would occur and the bullet would deflect some arrows and vica verca.

I must bebunk the answerers who think the bullet will be travelling faster without the absence of gravity - the answer is yes and no - yes if compared to a bullet fired vertically on earth or at any angle, no if compared to bullet fired horizontal to the ground on earth.\n\nIf bullet is shot horizontally here on earth, and then shot in space, both bullets will travel at the same speed. The bullet travelling horizontally on earth will have gravity only affect its vertical movement, hence it will be pulled faster and faster towards the ground, but its horizontal velocity will stay the same.\n\nStraightdope has covered this in an article:

They said busted, possible, and confirmed \n\nMainly because it's almost impossible to shoot straight up and if a person is off by as little as 8 degrees you still have a lethal trajectory

it will fall straight down , but appear to fall at an angle if observed from the plane

Someone got shot by an arrow ... who was it?

large altitude doesn't nesaserily mean that the projectile will spen more time in the air. \nif something is thrown off of a cliff, there is a high altitude but the projectile will just go down. \nif you were at the bottom of the same cliff and threw something up with enough force so that the max hieght is the same as the cliff, this projectile will spend double the time in the air as the first projectile.

Normal, most guys point upwards when fully erect, straight up means you have good sexual health.  If you consider physiology of the male and female, you will understand that for intercourse, the body has adapted so that an upward pointing penis will penetrate easier, going in at the perfect angle. \n\nMakes no difference if it goes straight up or straight out to women, once it is in; if you point straight out you may have to hand-load it in the vagina so you don't deflect down.

My guess is that you die.  Tornados typically have winds up to 250 mph and throw debris for hundreds of yards.  Being within the 50 feet or so to fire a shotgun at it would be suicide.\n\nBut even if you did shoot the gun the tornado is such a powerful force that a gunshot would have no effect on it.  Now, maybe something like one of the fuel air weapons the military uses might have an effect.

depends on where you were shot
