Question

select the correct answer. an archer pulls back the string of a bow to release an arrow at a target. which kind of potential energy is transformed to cause the motion of the arrow? a. chemical b. elastic c. gravitational d. magnetic

Explanation:

When an archer pulls back the bow - string, the bowstring is deformed. Elastic potential energy is stored in the deformed bowstring. When the archer releases the string, this elastic potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy of the arrow, causing the arrow to move towards the target. Chemical energy is related to chemical reactions, gravitational energy is related to height and mass in a gravitational field, and magnetic energy is related to magnetic fields. Here, the relevant potential energy is elastic potential energy.

Answer:

B. elastic
