Answer:

Kinetic energy of the arrow is 50 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we know that archer stretches the the bow and stores potential energy into the thread

Now when he releases the thread then potential energy of the thread will convert into the kinetic energy of the arrow

This verify the conservation of energy according to which energy neither be created nor be destroyed but it will convert from one form to another form

So here we have

KE = 50 J
