Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.
Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference. So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative.
What that means is: You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.
(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom. Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)

Regarding the other choices:
-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes. So is potential energy.
-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.
-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.
Answer:
A. h = 2.15 m
B.
Pb' = 122 KPa
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a) Let us assume the depth be h
As we know that
After solving this,
h = 2.15 m
Therefore the depth of the fluid is 2.15 m
b)
Given that
height of the extra fluid is
h' = 0.355 m
Now let us assume the pressure at the bottom is Pb'
so, the equation would be
Pb' = 122 KPa
Answer:
the air has to be unstable as well as it needs to be moved upwards.
Explanation:
it needs to be moved upwards and also needs to have unstable air.
C) alternately increase and decrease
