Answer:

The total energy of the skater is the sum of his potential energy and kinetic energy. As potential energy decreases, kinetic energy increases, and vice versa. This occurs because kinetic energy is the energy of motion and potential energy is stored energy.

We know that potential energy is the energy that is stored within an object while kinetic energy is the energy that is in motion. The connection between the two is that potential energy transforms into kinetic energy
