Question

A ball is thrown vertically upward. As it rises, what happens to its potential energy?​

Answer 1

According to the law of conservation of energy its kinetic energy is getting converted in to potential energy because of gain in height. So, if the velocity of a ball goes on decreasing when it is thrown vertically upwards. When its velocity becomes zero, its potential energy becomes maximum.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

As the ball rises, its PE increases because the potential energy is equal to the mass of the ball times gravity times the height of the ball. The higher the height, the higher the PE.
