Question

potential or kinetic? an arrow pulled back on a bow (with options: potential, kinetic; and an image of a person pulling a bow)

Explanation:

Potential energy is stored energy due to position or configuration. An arrow pulled back on a bow has stored elastic potential energy (from the bow's deformation) and gravitational potential energy (if we consider height), but mainly elastic potential. Kinetic energy is energy of motion; the arrow isn't moving yet, so it's potential.

Answer:

POTENTIAL
