Question

leaves dangle from tree branches high above the ground. what kind of energy is shown here? gravitational potential energy spring energy radiant energy

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy depends on an object's height above a reference (like the ground) and mass. Leaves high in trees have height, so they have gravitational potential energy. Spring energy relates to compressed/stretched springs (not leaves), and radiant energy is electromagnetic (like light, not related to leaf height).

Answer:

A. gravitational potential energy
