The total energy of a system is the sum of the potential and kinetic energy in the system. According to this question, the kinetic energy (KE) = 1368 J and a potential energy (PE) = 5782J.
Total energy of the system will be PE + KE as follows;
1368J + 5782J
= 7150J
However, the question demanded that the answer be in kJ (kilojoules), which is higher than the joules.
