Question 1 3 pts
There is an apple with a mass of 14 kg that is attached to the tree 12
m above the ground (on earth). How much Gravitational Potential
Energy does the apple have? (Round to the nearest tenth)
Hint g= 9.8 (m/s^2)
*

Explanation:

Gravitation potential energy can be found using this formula:

where m is the mass, g is the gravtiational acceleration, and h is the height.

The mass of the apple is 14 kilograms and it is 12 meters above the ground. Since this is on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s².

Substitute the values into the formula.

Multiply.

Multiply again.

This is already rounded to the tenth place, so it's the final answer.

The apple has 1,646.4 Joules of gravitational potential energy.

another example of kinetic energy would be,

kinetic energy   >     moving energy

answer   >   letter choice (c),   a hammer falling off a table.
