Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an ideal situation, without any energy losses due to factors like air resistance or friction, the potential energy stored in the drawn bow (40 J) would be completely converted into the kinetic energy of the arrow. Thus, the arrow would have 40 J of kinetic energy upon being fired.
