The total mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy:

where m=3.5 kg is Candy's mass, v=1 m/s is her velocity and h=3.5 m is her height. If we replace these numbers, we find the mechanical energy of the system:
Explanation:
Below is an attachment containing the solution.
