Answer:
C. an apple on a tree
Explanation:
Energy can be defined as the ability (capacity) to do work. The two (2) main types of energy are;
a. Kinetic energy (KE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.
b. Gravitational potential energy (GPE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.
Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;
[tex] G.P.E = mgh[/tex]
Where;
G.P.E represents gravitational potential energy measured in Joules.
m represents the mass of an object.
g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
h represents the height measured in meters.
In an apple on a tree, energy is stored in the form of gravitational potential energy.
