When a bow is used, it is important that an arrow is on the string when the string is released. If the string is pulled back and released without an arrow, the bow will likely get damaged and the archer will likely get hurt. However, if an arrow is used with the bow, releasing the pulled back string makes the arrow fly. Use what you have learned about energy to explain why it is so important to have an arrow on the string

Respuesta :

Work is done when the arrow is released from the bow. When this work is not done, the bow is damaged.

What is energy conversion?

We know that energy is neither created nor destroyed rather is converted from one form to another. When the string of the bow is pulled back the elastic potential energy does work and the arropow is released. The elastic potential energy is converted to the kinetic energy of the moving arrow.

However, when this work is not done, the whole energy in the string does work on the bow thereby damaging it.
