Why does the sky diver have quite a bit of potential energy when he is at an altitude of 12,000 feet?​

This is for my 8th grade science class, i really don’t understand. can someone me? , lol.

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.

Which statement is true? a) the work done to lift an object 6 meters is greater than the gravitational potential energy it gains. b) the work required to push an object is less than the work required to pull an object the same distance. c) the work required to raise an object to a height is equal to the gravitational potential energy the object gains. d) the work done against gravity to lift an object straight up is greater than the work required to roll it up a ramp.
