When an arrow is released from a bow,potential energy changes into kinetic energy.
(TRUE) The statement is True.
When the string of a bow is pulled,work is done on the bow,which is stored as elastic potential energy in the deformed bow. When the arrow is released,this stored elastic potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy of the arrow,causing it to move forward.
