The energy in the stretched bowstring is potential energy - specifically, elastic energy. This is converted into kinetic energy, when the arrow is released.

elastic energy is stored in the bow. When released, it is transferred to kinetic energy in the arrow.

What energy is in a bow and arrow?

There is no energy there until the bow string is stretched. The human arm pulling back on the bow string is the source of the energy which is stored mechanically in the flexure of the bow and converted into the kinetic energy of the arrows flight when the archer releases the arrow.


What kind of energy is the archer giving the string of a bow?

What are 3 energy transformations for a piano?

Well when you hit the key, it triggers the hammer to hit the string , so that would be mechanical . Then , it hits the string that creates a vibrational wave , then , of course, it creates a sound wave . That's all I got .

How does a yo yo transfer potential energy to kinetic energy and back again as it moves up and down its string?

Before a yo yo is released, it has maximum potential energy and zero kinetic energy. As the yo yo goes down the string, its kinetic energy increases and it potential energy decreases. When the yo yo reaches the bottom of the string it has maximum kinetic energy and zero potential energy. As the yo yo goes back up the string, its kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases until the yo yo reaches the top of the string, at which point kinetic energy is zero and potential energy is at its maximum.
