Answer: The total mechanical energy stored in an apple is 1.47 Joules
Step-by-step explanation:
Mass of the apple = 0.100 kg
Height at which apple is hanging = 1.50 m
Force on the apple =

Velocity of the apple = 0 m/s
g = acceleration due gravity
Mechanical energy = Potential energy + Kinetic energy
=
+


The total mechanical energy stored in an apple is 1.47 Joules
