Answer:
A. Kelle has a greater potential energy than Jenn.
Explanation:
We need to apply the kinetic energy equation here to solve this problem: P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m / s2 at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters.
The problem tells us, however, that mass/weight is negligible; therefore, the only thing that really matters here is the height. Kelle is higher up, so she would have a greater potential energy than Jenn, who is lower.
