Question

When a person climbs a hill, he possesses:

• A. only K.E.
• B. only P.E.
• C. both K.E. and P.E.
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C both K.E. and P.E.

As the man is climbing the hill, he possess some velocity and hence kinetic energy.
Also as he is climbing, his height is increasing, which means potential energy is also increasing.
Energy can be given by:
$KE=\left(M{V}^2\right)/2$
$PE=-(M\times g\times h)$
