What happens to kinetic energy and potential energy of a stone if it is thrown upwards?

Open in App

Solution

Dear student,
If stone is thrown upwards then its kinetic energy will increase till it reach the top and potential energy also increases from ground to the max height because upward velocity goes on decreasing due to increase in height.

Regards!!
