Answers:
- This means that if I pulled back the string and used 100 Joules of work, about 54.8 Joules would
go into the kinetic energy of the arrow.
Answers to Guide Questions:
- When the string of a bow and arrow is pulled from equilibrium, the elastic potential energy in
the bow is converted to kinetic energy of the arrow when the string is released.
- Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. The
total amount of energy and matter in the Universe remains constant, merely changing from one
form to another.

Keep This In Mind

- An endothermic reaction's products store more chemical energy than the reactants. In an
exothermic reaction, the opposite is true. Chemical energy is stored in the products less than it
is in the reactants. The excess energy in the reactants is released into the environment when a
reaction occurs.

Apply What You Have Learned

Yes, because the fundamental law of thermodynamics, which states that the energy of the
universe is constant, determines the link between a system's energy change and that of its
surroundings. The subscripts uni, sys, and surr stand for universe, system, and environment,
respectively. As a result, a system's change in energy is similar in magnitude but opposite in sign to the
change in energy of its surroundings.
