What energy takes place as an arrow is shot from a bow?
The moment the arrow is released, potential energy (elastic energy in the bow) is converted into kinetic energy.
When you draw back and bend a bow you do work in bending the bow and give the arrow in the bow 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.
What energy is in a bow and arrow?
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.
How does the law of conservation of energy relate to a bow and?
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.
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.
What energy is used when an archer shoots an arrow into a target?
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.
What energy does a bow and arrow use?
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.
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.
What energy conversion takes place as an arrow is shot from a bow?
im pretty sure theres mechanical, chemical and sound. but im not sure in which order.
A person is standing with a drawn bow and arrow. He is aiming it at a bull's-eye. What type of energy is being described?
The energy in the drawn bow is elastic energy, a type of potential energy.
When a bow is stretched and an arrow released does muscular energy get converted to mechanical energy?
yes..obviously
What is the type of energy that a bow and arrow have?
Elastic(Bow String)-Kinetic and elastic(arrow bends as it flies) and sound (and maby heat)- Sound and elastic There are more :P
