:
A and B
Work done by the bow on arrow would be equal to the maximum gravitational potential energy stored in it, which would be equal to m×g×h,
where, m is the mass of the arrow =500 g=5001000=0.5 kg
h is the height attained by the arrow =5 m
⇒ Work done =m×g×h=0.5×10×5=25 J
Therefore, work done is 25 J which is greater than 10 J and 20 J.
