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.

Explanation:

Potential energy is based on height and mass. Since the skier is above the ground - level, there is potential energy. Kinetic energy is based on mass and velocity. As the skier is moving down the hill, there is velocity, so there is kinetic energy.

Answer:

The skier has potential and kinetic energy.
