Question

This diagram shows a skier moving down a hill. Which statement best describes the skier? The skier has potential and kinetic energy. The skier has only potential energy. The skier has only kinetic energy. The skier does not have potential or kinetic energy.

Answer 1

When skier is moving along the hill we can say that he had some speed by which he is moving down

so his kinetic energy is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

also the height of the person is also there from ground level

so his potential energy is given as

$PE = mgh$

so here the correct answer would be

The skier has potential and kinetic energy.

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

A. The skier has potential and kinetic energy.
