Answer
The apple is traveling at 8 meters per second
Explanation
We have the equation that relates the kinetic energy with the velocty:

Then, to find thevelocity when the apple has 32, we replace K = 32 j:

Thus, the speed of the apple is 8meter per second
Same as any other midpoint of line segment or two points, it is the average of the two points x and y coordinates...
mp=((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)
mp=((-6+16)/2, (-9+5)/2)
mp=(10/2, -4/2)
mp=(5, -2)
Looking at 49 and 21, you immediately know that 7 can be divided out of both.
49:21
=49/7:21/7
=7:3
7:3 is the answer.
Hope this helps!
