During a family picnic, Harper ran across a flat field to the base of an ash tree.
She reached up and pulled herself onto the lowest branch of the tree. Then, she
climbed to a higher branch and stopped to look around. From the branch, she
could see her stepdad waving to her.
When was the most gravitational potential energy stored between Harper and Earth? Assume
that Harper's mass did not change.
when Harper was running toward the tree
when Harper first reached up to grab a branch
when Harper saw her stepdad wave to her

Harper had the most gravitational potential energy when she climbed to the higher branch and saw her stepdad wave to her.

Bonus Knowledge

When Harper climbed to a higher branch of the tree, she reached the point of maximum gravitational potential energy. This is because gravitational potential energy is dependent on height; the higher an object is from the ground, the more potential energy it possesses due to gravity acting on it. So, as Harper elevated herself further up into the tree, her potential energy increased.
While running toward the tree, Harper was indeed gaining speed and kinetic energy, but her height above the ground remained the same, which means her gravitational potential energy was minimal. It’s important to remember that potential energy is all about that vertical height, so the higher you go, the more energy you have stored up, ready to be unleashed for a thrilling descent!
