Question

A person holding a bow has just released an arrow from the bow. The arrow shoots forward toward its target. What type of energy is being described?

Answer 1

Kinetic energy is being described here.

Answer 2

Answer:

Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

An  arrow  released from the bow starts moving  towards the target with some velocity. As an arrow has some mass and it has also gained velocity (that is making it to move forward),  thus a moving mass possess kinetic energy given by the following equation -

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

Where m represents the mass of the arrow and v represents the velocity of the arrow.
