Describe the energy of the skier at location W.* At point W, potential energy is greatest and kinetic energy is least.
At point W, potential energy is least and kinetic energy is greatest.
At point W, potential energy and kinetic energy are the same.

The description of the energy of the skier at point W is,

At point W, potential energy is greatest and kinetic energy is least

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The highest point of the skier's path = Point W

The lowest point of the skier's path = Point X

The height of the peak after point X = Intermediate between point W and point X

The potential energy of the skier, P.E. = m·g·h

The kinetic energy of the skier, K.E. = 1/2·m·v²

The total mechanical energy of the skier, M.E. = P.E. + K.E.= Constant

Where;

m = The mass of the skier

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = The height of the skier

v = The velocity of the skier

Therefore, the P.E. of the skier is highest at the highest point of the skier's path which is the point W, where h = Maximum

Similarly, the potential energy of the skier will be lowest at point X which is the lowest point on the skier's path

From P.E. + K.E. = constant, the kinetic energy will be least at point W, where the potential energy is highest.

Therefore, the description of the energy of the skier at point W is that the potential energy is greatest and kinetic energy is least.
