Here is a simple picture of the one they call “THE HAWK” hunting with his bow and arrow. This bow has a lot of potential energy stored with it. There is also Gravitational Potential energy which is the work that was required to elevate the object against gravity. The formula of that is PEg=mgh. Potential energy and kinetic energy both play important roles with each other.
This is a great example of potential energy that we might no think about when we first see a bow and arrow. Kinetic energy is also shown in the conversion of PE to KE when he lets go of the arrow.
