The total energy of the system is 88.2 J
Explanation:
The total (mechanical) energy of an object is given by:
where
PE is the potential energy
KE is the kinetic energy
At the starting point, the object is at rest: this means that its kinetic energy is zero, so all its energy is potential energy, which is given by
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration of gravity
h is the height of the object
In this problem, we have (at point A):
m = 3.0 kg
h = 3.0 m
Substituting, we find:
