MCQ
When an arrow is released from a bow, potential energy changes into kinetic energy.
- ATrue
- BFalse
- CAmbiguous
- DData insufficient
✓
Answer
- True
Explanation:
When an arrow is drawn back by a bow, the work done by us in stretching the bowstring gets stored at potential energy in the bow.
This potential energy of bow is transformed into kinetic energy when the bowstring is released and this gives kinetic energy to the arrow.
