This problem is telling me that an arrow is shot from a bow with a speed of 20.5 m/s. THen asking if the average force exerted on the arrow were doubled with everything else staying the same, with what speed would the arrow leave the bow? I am just confused I thought it would stay the same? Can anyone help?

Welcome to PF. In future, please post problems like this in the homework forums. You must show your work before we can help you. Hint: are you familiar with the notion of an impulse?

I can help clarify this problem for you. The speed of the arrow leaving the bow is determined by the force applied to it. In this problem, the initial speed of the arrow is given as 20.5 m/s. If the average force exerted on the arrow were doubled, the arrow would experience a greater force and therefore would leave the bow with a higher speed. This is because the force applied to an object is directly proportional to its acceleration, which in turn determines its speed. So, if the force is doubled, the acceleration and speed of the arrow will also double. I hope this helps to explain the concept.
