Of course, it has. It has mass and speed.

Yes, a flying arrow has kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, and since the arrow is in motion, it has kinetic energy. The amount of kinetic energy depends on the mass and velocity of the arrow.

Is a flying Arrow a kinetic energy?

no


When did the arrow have kinetic energy?

Right after you let go of the string and send it flying.


How does the law of conservation of energy relate to a bow and?

I think you mean bow and arrow. In this case, when you pull back an arrow on a bow, you apply kinetic energy (the energy of motion) to the bow and arrow to give it potential energy (energy that can be turned into kinetic energy at a later time). Anyway, the laws of conservation of energy state that energy cannot be created or destroyed; therefore all energy in the world is only changed to other different forms. As I said above, your kinetic energy (coming from your body) applied action to the bow and arrow, making the kinetic energy change into potential energy. Of course, when you let go of the arrow, the potential energy changes back into kinetic energy, allowing to arrow to fly off.


What type of energy does an arrow have moving?

It has, or possesses, Kinetic Energy: the Energy of Motion.


Does a heavy arrow or a light arrow have more kinetic energy when shot from a compound bow?

A heavy arrow will have more kinetic energy when shot from a compound bow compared to a light arrow. Kinetic energy is determined by both the mass and velocity of an object. Although a heavy arrow may have a lower initial velocity, its greater mass compensates and results in higher kinetic energy than a lighter arrow.


Does a light arrow or a heavy arrow have more kinetic energy?

The kinetic energy of the arrow is dependent on its weight and the speed at which it is launched. if you use one bow to fire two different sized arrows, they will both have the SAME kinetic energy. a heavy arrow will shoot slower but hit harder while the light arrow will fly faster but wont impact as hard.


A flying bird is what type of energy?

potential to kinetic energy


What types of energy is used when shooting an arrow?

kinetic energy and spring/elastic energy


What energy takes place as an arrow is shot from a bow?

The moment the arrow is released, potential energy (elastic energy in the bow) is converted into kinetic energy.


How does an airplane flying have kinetic energy?

It has kinetic energy because it is moving. Just because it is in the air doesn't mean that it can't have kinetic energy.


What are the energy transformations when an archer pulls the string on the bow and when the archer releases the bow?

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


When you draw back and bend a bow you do work in bending the bow and give the arrow in the bow kinetic energy?

When you bend the bow, you are imparting kinetic energy from your pull into the bow as potential energy. When you release the string, you are imparting that potential energy into the arrow through the string.
