Question

There is a skier at the top of a ski slope. The skier has potential energy. What gives the skier his potential energy? A. his speed B. friction C. gravity D. his efficiency

Answer 1

Answer:C

Explanation:

Skier at the top of a ski has Potential Energy due to gravity.

Potential Energy is the Energy Possessed by an object when it attains a height concerning some zero level Position.

During the process of attaining the height, some work has to be done against gravity and this energy stored within the object after attaining some height w.r.t relative zero position.                          

Answer 2

The answer is C: gravity
