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?
To find the potential energy of an object, you can use the equation:
Potential Energy (PE) = mass * gravitational acceleration * height
In this case, the mass of the apple is 0.10 kg, the height is 1.0 meter, and the gravitational acceleration on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. Plugging these values into the equation, we can calculate the potential energy.
PE = 0.10 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.0 m
= 0.98 J
Therefore, the potential energy of the apple (C) is 0.98 Joules.
