A meter stick is pivoted at the left end and released from rest at an angle 30o above horizontal. The mass of the meter stick is 0.065 kg. As it swings down in a circle: What is the instantaneous angular acceleration of the meter stick?
What is the maximum angular acceleration of the meter stick?
What is the maximum angular velocity of the stick?
What is the maximum linear speed of any piece of the meter stick during the motion?

The figure is missing but we can answer anyway.the correct answer is "releasing the string". in fact, when the person is holding the bow and the arrow, the kinetic energy of the arrow is still zero (because the arrow is not moving). the moment the arrow is released, it acquires a velocity v, so its kinetic energy will become different from zero: where m is the mass of the arrow and v its velocity.  all the other options, instead, do not increase the kinetic energy of the system: -  pulling farther back on the string : this will just increase the elastic potential energy of the system-  holding the arrow higher: this will increase the gravitational potential energy of the system (which is given by u=mgh, where h is the height above the ground)-  decreasing the mass of the arrow: this will decrease the gravitational potential energy of the system (which is given by u=mgh, where m is the mass)
