Step-by-step explanation:

A drawn bow posses elastic potential energy. When a bow is drawn, the mechanical energy is converted in the form of elastic potential energy. We know that the energy of system remains conserved. After the arrow is released, the energy is transformed into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is possessed due to the motion of an object.

Hence, first blank is elastic potential energy and another blank is kinetic energy.
