Solution

When a ball is thrown upward it possesses kinetic energy and as it goes upward the potential energy of the ball increases and kinetic energy decreases.
At the top, the velocity of the ball becomes zero and the ball only possess potential energy.
When the ball descends, the kinetic energy increases and its potential energy decreases.
