the object at point a has a potential energy of 360 j and a kinetic energy of 0 j. what is the total energy? 360 j 720 j 0 j

Answer

# Explanation: ## Step1: Recall energy - conservation formula The total mechanical energy $E$ is the sum of potential energy $U$ and kinetic energy $K$, i.e., $E = U+K$. ## Step2: Substitute given values Given $U = 360\ J$ and $K = 0\ J$. Then $E=360 + 0$. # Answer: $360\ J$
