a)The mechanical enerygy is zero
b)The potential energy is at a maximum
c)The kinetic enrgy and potential energy
d)The potential energy is zero

Answer 1

b) The potential energy is at a maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

It happens because the equation for the potencial energy is a function of the height of the body (Epotential=mgh) and, when you reach the top of your jump, you obviously reach your maximum height.
