- The peak of the extinct volcano Volcán Chimborazo in Ecuador is the farthest point on Earth from Earth's center. This is because Earth bulges outward due
to its rotation, and this bulge is greatest at the Equator, which is only about
100 km north of Chimborazo. Volcán Chimborazo's summit is 6,267 m above
sea level. If a mountain climber with a mass of 85 kg (climbing equipment
included) reaches the mountain's peak, what is the gravitational potential
energy associated with the climber with respect to sea level?

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
