Answer: As a result an increase in kinetic energy also happens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential energy is the energy occupied by an object or substance due to its position.

Kinetic energy is the energy occupied by an object of substance due to its motion.

If the kinetic and potential energy in a system are equal and then an increase in potential energy will occur.

As a result, there will also occur an increase in kinetic energy also.

Thus, we can conclude that as a result an increase in kinetic energy also happens.
