Question

Picture a person standing with a drawn bow and arrow. He is aiming it at a bull's eye target. What type of energy is being described? A)kinetic B)potential C)chemical D)heat

Answer 1

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A potential energy is defined as the energy obtained by a body due to its position.

For example, a person is standing has potential energy.

Whereas kinetic energy is the energy obtained by a body due to its motion.

For example, a person is walking has kinetic energy.

Chemical energy is the energy present in chemical bonds of a chemical substance.

Heat is defined as the flow of thermal energy from a hotter material to a cooler material.

Hence, we can conclude that when we picture a person standing with a drawn bow and arrow. He is aiming it at a bull's eye target then energy is described is potential energy.

Answer 2

This is potential energy because while he was aiming at a bull's eye target, he is storing energy
