!The Bow and Arrow!

Physics of the bow and arrow

When you pull the string back it bends the bow. This is where the energy is stored. It is potential energy in this form. When u release the string this is where it becomes kinetic energy. To shoot a target with good accuracey factors in angle and how far u pull back the string. The farther u pull back the string the more energy is stored. the higher your angle the more distance you will have, but if you angle it to much the arrow will go up more than it will travel a long distance. The physics of the bow and arrow are very important. Think about these factors next time you shoot a bow and arrow.
