When an arrow is shot from a bow, it has kinetic energy in it. Explain briefly from where does it get its kinetic energy?
When an arrow is shot from a bow, it has kinetic energy in it. Explain briefly from where does it get its kinetic energy?

Solutions:

When a bow’s string is pulled, the work done is stored in the bow’s deformed condition,

which is represented by its elastic potential energy. The potential energy of the bow is converted into the kinetic energy of the arrow when the string is released to shoot an arrow.
