    If you're holding the apple at your waist, lift it to your mouth.

    Potential energy relative to any level is proportional to its height

    above that level. Increase that height, and you've increased the

    potential energy.

    Since energy is conserved ... it never magically appears or

    disappears ... you need to tell where that extra energy for the

    apple came from.

    It's exactly the work you did ... the force of your muscles acting

    through the distance you raised the apple ... that became the

    additional potential energy that the apple gained.
