Jerome Dunn · Answer 1

Kinetic energy is energy of motion. Anything that's moving has it.

Anything that's not moving doesn't have it.

The only thing on this list of choices that's moving is the gymnast

doing a cartwheel. The swimmer, the basketball player, and the

horse are all just sitting or standing there.
