When a ball is thrown vertically upwards, its velocity goes on decreasing. What happens to its potential energy as its velocity becomes zero?


When a ball is thrown vertically upwards, its velocity goes on decreasing. As the velocity of the ball goes decreasing, its kinetic energy also goes decreasing and its potential energy starts increasing. And when the velocity becomes zero, its kinetic energy is zero and converted into its potential energy. Therefore, when the velocity of the ball becomes zero, its potential energy becomes maximum.
