    A). The apple has thermal energy, because its temperature is higher

    than absolute zero.

    It also has chemical energy, because if I eat it, I get a burst of energy

    and I become ambitious for a while.

    It also has gravitational potential energy, because if I drop it on my foot,

    it could bruise one of my piggies.

    b). I could increase its potential energy by lifting it higher, like over my head.

    c). As long as I'm just holding the apple, it doesn't have any kinetic energy.

    I could give it some kinetic energy by throwing it.

    Or I could just drop it, and let gravity give it kinetic energy.
