Read the text about an object in motion. Aaron heard that his new air conditioner was ready to be plcked up in the basement of his apartment building. Aaron brought the air conditioner to his sixth-floor apartment, where he installed it in a high window, Later, he accidentally bumped the air conditioner, and it fell out of the window and onto the street below. When was the most gravitational potential energy stored between the air conditioner and Earth? Assume that the air conditioner's mass did not change. when the air conditioner was ready to be picked up in the basement when the air conditioner was in the window of Aaron's apartment when the air conditioner was about to hit the street

The most gravitational potential energy (GPE) is stored when an object is at its highest position relative to the Earth. Gravitational potential energy is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{GPE} = m \times g \times h \] Where: - \( m \) is the mass of the object, - \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity, - \( h \) is the height above the reference point (in this case, the street). Let's evaluate each scenario: 1. **When the air conditioner was ready to be picked up in the basement:** - **Height (\( h \))**: Lowest point - **GPE**: Lowest 2. **When the air conditioner was in the window of Aaron's apartment:** - **Height (\( h \))**: Highest point (sixth floor) - **GPE**: Highest 3. **When the air conditioner was about to hit the street:** - **Height (\( h \))**: Lowest point (just above the street) - **GPE**: Lowest **Conclusion:** The air conditioner had the most gravitational potential energy **when it was in the window of Aaron's apartment** on the sixth floor. **Answer:** When the air conditioner was in the window of Aaron’s apartment
