Aperson holding a bow has just released an arrow from the bow. the arrow shoots forward toward its target. what type of energy is being described? kinetic potential chemical heat

You said "The arrow shoots forward towards its target". The only energy type that matches that description is the kinetic energy, which is also known as the energy of movement.

The kinetic energy, in your case, is generated when you let go of the bows string, releasing all the tension you created when you pulled it, on the arrow, which in turn makes it go forward.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!
