Q
Example 3
A bow being released to fire an arrow uses the energy stored in the bent bow and stretched string to make the arrow move. we can write the energy transfer that takes place as:
A
elastic potential —> kinetic
4
Q
Explanation for the 3rd example ,
Because the string is being stretched that is elastic potential (Which means something being stretched)Then since the string is moving it is kinetic energy.
A
Elastic potential —> kinetic
