    Answer:

    At 400 m the potential energy of the mountain climber doubled the initial value.

    Explanation:

    Given;

    initial height of the mountain climber = 200 m

    final height of the mountain climber, = 400 m

    The potential energy of the mountain climber is calculated as;

    Potential energy, P.E = mgh

    At 200 m, P.E₁ = mg x 200 = 200mg

    At 400 m, P.E₂ = mg x 400 = 400mg

    Then, at 400 m, P.E₂ = 2 x 200mg = 2 x P.E₁

    Therefore, at 400 m the potential energy of the mountain climber doubled the initial value.
