Answer:

hello some parts of your question is missing below is the complete question

A 60.0 kg archer standing on a friction-less ice shoots a 100g arrow at a speed of 80.0 m/s to the right .When the arrow is released, how does the the force on the arrow (by the bow) compare to the force on the archer (by the bow)?

Answer : The force on the arrow is larger than the force on the archer because the arrow has a higher final velocity

Step-by-step explanation:

we can compare The force on the arrow to the force on the archer by using the final velocities of the archer and the arrow ,hence The force on the arrow is larger than the force on the archer because the arrow has a higher final velocity and this is according to Newton's law which states for a every action there is an equal reaction i.e the force applied on the arrow will be the opposite of the force on the archer
