I'm no hunter, but there is something that come around the butt of the arrow and releases it causing it to shoot. This means that the potential energy is stored in the elastic/rubber/string thing that launches the arrow
Actually the energy is stored in the bow, all the string provides is tension. as you pull the string back, the distance between the bow tips gets pulled in, spreading the potential evenly around the entire bow. Upon pulling the trigger, the bow is allowed to relax back into shape, pulling the string taught, and forcing the arrow forward.
If you were to try and use the string as a store (IE. a rubberised string), there would be much less area to hold potential, and as a result you would have to pull the string considerably further back than the tip spacing of a crossbow (think slingshot).

What part of the ballista stores the potential energy?
skein
What is potantail energy?
Potential Energy is scalar/real energy. Energy in general is a quaternion consisting of a scalar part Er (potential) and a vector part Ev.
What is potential energy dependent upon an object's weight and height?
That is called gravitational potential energy. Sometimes simply "potential energy", and the "gravitational" part is implied.
Gravitational potential energy a part of internal energy?
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
Does a microwave have kinetic or potential energy?
both. If moving we have kinetic. also have chemical energy stored in our bodies and that's potential energy. there is also physical potential energy stored in us if we are held up in the air with the possibility of falling.

Is electric energy part of potential energy?
Yes. Potential Electrical energy is E= q^2zc/4pi r.

What happens when pontential energy ins't completely converted to kinetic energy?
Then part of the potential energy will either remain as potential energy, or be converted into some other type of energy.
What source of energy does gas belong to?
gas could be a part of kinetic energy or potential energy
Which part of mechanical energy does someone have most while jumping on a trampoline?
Potential Energy
What part of the body makes and stores energy?
liver
What is another name potential energy?
I'm pretty sure it is the same thing as stored energy , Well That's what it says in my science book. Answer2: Another name for potential energy is scalar or real energy. Energy is a quaternion composed of a scalar part and a vector part.
What happens to potential energy if speed doubles?
Potential energy decreases while kinetic energy increases as a car goes down a hill without braking.
