Question

Which apple has the greatest potential energy?

Answer 1

D. Because as height increases, so does the potential energy.

Answer 2

Answer: Apple at point D

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position.

`P.E=m* g* h`

m= mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity =
`10ms^(-2)`

h = height of an object

Thus as can be seen from the relation, potential energy is directly proportional to the height of an object, the apple with maximum height, at point D will have maximum potential energy.
