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).
The torsion springs or twisted ropes in the arms of the ballista store the potential energy when they are pulled back. When the arms are released, this potential energy is transferred to the projectile, propelling it forward.
Potential energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its position or state. It is stored energy that has the potential to do work. Potential energy can take different forms, such as gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, or chemical potential energy.
No, gravitational potential energy is not part of internal energy. Internal energy refers to the total kinetic and potential energy of the particles within a system, while gravitational potential energy arises from the position of an object in a gravitational field.
The fruit of a mango tree contains the highest potential energy, as it stores sugars and nutrients produced through photosynthesis. This energy is used to support the growth and development of the tree, as well as to attract animals for seed dispersal.
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.

Yes. Potential Electrical energy is E= q^2zc/4pi r.
gas could be a part of kinetic energy or 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.
Potential energy is dependent on an object's weight and height because potential energy is a type of energy associated with an object's position relative to a reference point. The higher the object is positioned (height) and the heavier it is (weight), the greater its potential energy due to the force of gravity acting on it.
Gravity and potential energy are closely related because an object's potential energy is determined in part by its position within a gravitational field. As an object is lifted higher in a gravitational field, its potential energy increases due to the work done against gravity. This potential energy can then be converted into kinetic energy as the object falls back towards the surface.
When someone is jumping on a trampoline, they primarily have potential energy at the highest point of their jump when they are at their maximum height. This potential energy is then converted to kinetic energy as they descend back down towards the trampoline.
No, not everything that is not part of a system is gravitational potential energy. Gravitational potential energy refers specifically to the energy stored within an object due to its position in a gravitational field. Other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy, thermal energy, and chemical energy, can exist outside of a system as well.
