What energy is used when an archer shoots an arrow into a target?

The archer draws the bow, hard work which stores energy in the bow. When the arrow is released, that energy is quickly converted into kinetic energy, which allows the arrow to fly through the air at speed and penetrate the target.


Does a flying arrow have kinetic energy?

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.


Why an arrow shot horizontally and an arrow dropped straight down from the same height will hit the ground at the same time?

yes because they have the same gravitational potential


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.


How is an arrow shoot from a bow an example of the law of conservation of energy?

the reason on how this is an example is when you let go of the arrow, the potential energy changes back into kinetic energy, allowing to arrow to fly off - Jaylin C

What energy transformation occurs when an arrow reaches its highest point after been shoot?

the energy turns from kinetic (movement) energy and potential energy into lots of kinetic energy (there is also thermal (heat) and sound energy but they are technically just friction and vibration which are just more types of kinetic energy)


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.

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.


What gives an arrow shot horizontally from a bow its vertical movement?

Gravity pulls everything on earth down which gives an arrow that shoots horizontilly its vertical movements.
