A 0.3 kg arrow is fired from a bow with a kinetic energy of 82.0 J. what is its velocity?

When the string of a bow and arrow is pulled from equilibrium, the elastic potential energy in the bow is converted to kinetic energy of the arrow when the string is released.

Kinetic energy of an arrow can be found by using the formula KE=(mv²)/450,240 where m = mass of the arrow in grains and v = velocity of the arrow in fps.

Two factors determine the amount of energy a bow can hold. Its draw weight is the amount of force required to draw the bow. A bow's draw weight increases the farther back you pull the string.

Does a stretched bow and arrow have energy?

An arrow held in a stretched bow also contains this stored energy. Specifically, the bow has elastic potential energy. When the bow is released, the arrow will move. ... When work is done on an object, the work may be converted into either kinetic or potential energy.
