Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1646.4 \ J }}[/tex]
Explanation:
Gravitation potential energy can be found using this formula:
[tex]E_P=m*g*h[/tex]
where m is the mass, g is the gravtiational acceleration, and h is the height.
The mass of the apple is 14 kilograms and it is 12 meters above the ground. Since this is on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s².
[tex]m= 14 \ kg \\g= 9.8 \ m/s^2 \\h= 12 \ m[/tex]
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]E_p= ( 14 \ kg )( 9.8 \ m/s^2)(12 \ m)[/tex]
Multiply.
[tex]E_p= (137.2 \ kg*m/s^2)(12 \ m )[/tex]
Multiply again.
[tex]E_P= 1646.4 \ kg*m^2/s^2[/tex]
[tex]E_p=1646.4 \ J[/tex]
This is already rounded to the tenth place, so it's the final answer.
The apple has 1,646.4 Joules of gravitational potential energy.
