Answer:
D potential energy at the top of the stairs, kinetic energy as she walks down
Explanation:
The potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of the body.
At the top of the stair case, the student is at a significant height.
Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of the body.
As the student descends, the potential energy is changed to kinetic energy.
To find the potential energy;
P.E = mgH
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity
H is the height of the body
To find the kinetic energy;
K.E = m v²
m is the mass
v is the velocity
