Because of the law of inertia and it’s effect on the skater
I'm pretty sure the energy an object acquires when exposed to a force is known was potential energy.
Work needed = 23,520 J

Further explanation
</h3>
Given
height = 12 m
mass = 200 kg
Required
work needed by the crane
Solution
Work is the transfer of energy caused by the force acting on a moving object
Work is the product of force with the displacement of objects.
Can be formulated
W = F x d
W = Work, J, Nm
F = Force, N
d = distance, m
F = m x g
Input the value :
W = mgd
W = 200 kg x 9.8 m/s²x12 m
W = 23520 J
Answer: The skier has potential and kinetic energy.
