The statement which best describes the energy in this system is: A. The potential energy in the system is greatest at X.

What is potential energy?

Potential energy can be defined as a form of energy that is possessed by an object due to its height (position or location) above a surface or planet Earth.

How to calculate potential energy.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by this formula:

[tex]P.E = mgh[/tex]

Where:

  • m is the mass.
  • h is the height.
  • g is acceleration due to gravity.

Since the height is maximum at point X, the potential energy in the system is greatest at X.
