Question

select the correct answer. in which item is energy stored in the form of gravitational potential energy? a. a slice of bread b. a compressed spring c. an apple on a tree d. a stretched bow string

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is related to an object's height in a gravitational - field. An apple on a tree has height above the ground in Earth's gravitational field, so it has gravitational potential energy. A compressed spring has elastic potential energy, a stretched bow string has elastic potential energy, and a slice of bread has chemical potential energy.

Answer:

C. an apple on a tree
