Answer:
U(0.0m) = 0J
U(5.5m) = 40.42 J
Explanation:
The gravitational potential energy is given by the following formula:
[tex]U=mgh[/tex]
h: height
m: mass of the apple = 0.75kg
g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2
When the apple is at 5.5m from the ground the gravitational potential energy is:
[tex]U=(0.75kg)(9.8m/s^2)(5.5m)=40.42\ J[/tex]
when the apple is on the ground you have:
[tex]U=mg(0m)=0\ J[/tex]
