A. The biker on the left

B. The biker on the right

C. Their potential energy is the same since they are at rest

D. They do not have potential energy because they are at rest

Answer 1

Answer:

A The biker on the left

Explanation:

The biker on the left has gravitational potential energy because he is not going down the hill yet. Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, while potential energy is the potential for energy of an object at rest. You can see the motion lines around the biker on the right because he is moving.
