Question

State whether the following statements are true or false. If false, rewrite the correct form of statements.

An arrow on a stretched bow possesses elastic potential energy.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. When an arrow is drawn back by a bow, the work done by us in stretching the bowstring gets stored as elastic potential energy in the bow.
2. This elastic potential energy of the bow is transformed into kinetic energy when the bowstring is released and this gives kinetic energy to the arrow.

So, the statement is true.
