When an arrow is shot from a bow, it has kinetic energy. From where does it get the kinetic energy ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A stretched how possesses potential energy on account of change in its shape. To shoot the arrow, the bow is released. Potential energy of bow is converted into KE of arrow.
