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.
The moment the arrow is released, potential energy (elastic energy in the bow) is converted into 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.
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.
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 are setting up your bow and arrow you are setting the positionand condition, to shot the arrow, causing potential energy but when you let the bow go the potential changes into knitec energy because the bow now has mass and speed.
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.
When you stretch a bow , the work done by you in stretching the bow is stored in the form of potential energy . This potential energy get converted in to kinetic energy of the bow when released.
im pretty sure theres mechanical, chemical and sound. but im not sure in which order.
The energy in the drawn bow is elastic energy, a type of potential energy.
yes..obviously
Elastic(Bow String)-Kinetic and elastic(arrow bends as it flies) and sound (and maby heat)- Sound and elastic There are more :P
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.
