To gain motion by conservation of momentum and potential energy.

When the archer stretches the bow,the wire gains potential energy.

As you know when the archer releases arrow the wire tends to regain its potential by converting to kinetic energy so that total energy will remain conserved.

This kinetic energy will be transfered to arrow which will increase its momentum so will increase its velocity.

For its elastic nature we call the potential energy as elastic potential energy.

Thanks.

Answer:

to give the arrow power so it has anuff potential energy to hit what ever he is aiming at...

Explanation:

When the force is released, the stored potential energy is converted to Kinetic Energy, which is the energy of motion. The motion of the string launches the arrow by virtue of being in contact with the arrow
