Answer:

Kinetic Energy

Step-by-step explanation:

An arrow released from the bow starts moving towards the target with some velocity. As an arrow has some mass and it has also gained velocity (that is making it to move forward), thus a moving mass possess kinetic energy given by the following equation -


KE = (1)/(2) mv^(2)

Where m represents the mass of the arrow and v represents the velocity of the arrow.
