Answer : The correct option is (c).

Explanation :

The energy which is due to the height of an object under the action of gravity is called gravitational potential energy.

Mathematically, it can be written as :

P = m g h

Where,

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object from the reference level

So, potential energy is directly proportional to both the mass and the height.

The statement about the largest increase in a mountain climber’s gravitational potential energy is "carrying twice the weight and climbing twice as high".

Answer:

Static friction

Explanation:

When there is contact between two surfaces and there is no movement, there is static friction. So, if we have a book that rests on a wooden table, we have an example of Static friction, where this force avoids the movement of the book.
