When the archer releases the arrow, the elastic potential energy in the bowstring transforms into kinetic energy for the arrow.

The energy stored due to the deformation of an elastic object is called it is Elastic potential energy. Then the stored elastic potential energy gets converts to the motion energy.

(1) Elastic Potential Energy and (2) Motion Energy.

Thank it if it was helpful
