Answer:

the height above the ground through Mr. Voytko lifted the apple is 2.5 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

energy of Mr. Voytko, E = 7.35 J

mass of the apple, m = 0.3 kg

Apply the principle of conservation of energy.

Energy of Mr. Voytko = Potential energy of the apple due to its height above the ground.

E = mgh

where;

h is the height above the ground through Mr. Voytko lifted the apple.

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = E / (mg)

h = 7.35 / (0.3 x 9.8)

h = 2.5 m

Therefore, the height above the ground through Mr. Voytko lifted the apple is 2.5 m.
