Suppose all of the apples have a mass of 0.10 kg. If one of the apples in the bowl (C) is 1.0 meter above the ground, what is its potential energy?

who cares about all the apples?

a .1kg apple at 1m height has PE=mgh=.98J

To calculate the potential energy of an object, you need to know its mass (m) and the height (h) at which it is located above a reference point (in this case, the ground). The formula for potential energy is:

Potential Energy (PE) = mass (m) * acceleration due to gravity (g) * height (h)

In this case, the mass of the apple (m) is given as 0.10 kg, and the height (h) at which the apple is located is 1.0 meter above the ground.

The acceleration due to gravity (g) is approximately 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth.

Using the formula, we can calculate the potential energy of the apple:

PE = m * g * h
PE = 0.10 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.0 m
PE = 0.98 Joules

Therefore, the potential energy of the apple (C) is 0.98 Joules.
