A stretch bow and arrow has potential energy because potential energy is used by human body strength, so when you stretch the bow and arrow out the human strength is used and when you release the bow transfers into kinetic energy

When a stretched string is released the potential energy in the string is converted to .?
Kinetic energy and then to heat.
Where does a yo - yo have its greatest potential energy?
at its highest point because potential energy is gravitational energy.
What is energy potential measured in?
Potential energy can't be measured directly but can be calculated in between two states. Potential energy is also sometimes called as the mechanical energy or stored energy. Every object or body has the ability to have potential energy by different means. Springs carry potential energy when it is compressed or stretched, and when released, all that potential will turn to kinetic energy because the body gains motion. Potential energy always changes into kinetic energy again by different means. Potential energy is calculated by using this expression. Ep = mgh, where m= mass, g= gravity if the body is at height, h= the height.
How do the various forms of energy differ?
Energy can either be "potential" energy or "kinetic" energy. Potential energy is energy that is stored in some system: a stretched rubber band, a book sitting on a table, or the chemical bonds in the wax of a candle. Kinetic energy is energy that is moving, and generally comes from the release of potential energy, such as letting go of the rubber band, the book falling off the table, or lighting the candle.
When you stretch out a spring at what point would you have the greatest potential energy?
A spring has maximum potential energy at maximum displacement from equilibrium. This means that the greatest potential energy will occur when a spring is stretched as far as it will stretch or compressed as tightly as it will compress. In an oscillating system, where an object attached to a spring is moving back and forth at a given frequency, the object will oscillate about the equilibrium point, and the potential energy of the system will be greatest (and equal) when the object is farthest from equilibrium on either side.
When an archer bends a bow what type of energy increases in the bow?
Elastic potential energy because it is the potential energy of an object that is stretched or compressed.
Define elastic potential energy and gravitional potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy, is the energy an object possesses by reason of its position in a gravitational field. While elastic potential energy, is the energy stored by a material or object as a result of deformation e.g. the energy stored in a bow when it is stretched.
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.
Is stretched rubber band a potential energy or kinetic energy?
A stretched rubber band is potential energy because the energy is stored.
What kind of potential energy is in a stretched spring?
Potential elastic energy
When a rubber band is stretched what kind of energy is it?
When a rubber band is stretched, it has potential energy. Any type of stored energy is known as potential energy.
What is a form of potential energy?
There are three main types of potential energy: elastic potential energy, gravitational potential energy, and chemical potential energy. Elastic potential energy is stored in objects that can either be stretched or compressed. The more the object is stretched or compressed, the more elastic potential energy it'll have.
Does kinetic energy and elastic potential energy have anything in common?
Yes because in a catapult the potential energy in a stretched piece of elastic is transferred to a stone as kinetic energy. The potential energy came from the user who stretched the elastic
Does the rubber band possess potential energy when the spring is stretched?
yes it has potential energy
Is a rubber band being stretched be potential or kinetic energy?
Becoming potential energy.
What is the potential energy called that is associated with object that can be stretched or compressed?
Elastic Potential energy
When an arrow shot from its bow it has K.E. From where does it get K.E?
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.
