Question

If the kinetic and potential energy in a system are equal, then the potential energy increases. What happens as a result?

Answer 1

Mechanical energy i think will form

Answer 2

Answer: Hi, in this problem we should take the next assumption: If the system is closed, there should be a conservation of the total energy.

The total energy is the sum of the kinetic and the potential energy, so if the potential energy increases, then the kinetic energy should decrease in the same amount, so the total energy remains constant.
