Answer:

Potential energy

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The energy that a body possesses because of its relative position concerning other objects, stress, etc. is the potential energy of the body.
  • When a person is standing with a drawn bow and arrow then the bow and arrow have potential energy stored in it and when the arrow will be released this potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy.
