A baseball is thrown high into the air. As it travels upwards it loses speed and slowly comes to a stop high above the grove what is it converting to

Respuesta :

Answer:

Potential energy

Explanation:

The thrown baseball is converting from kinetic energy into potential energy. When it finally stops at a particular height, it attains its maximum potential energy at the position or point.

  • Potential energy is the energy at rest of body.
  • Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of body.

The more a body speeds, the higher its kinetic energy attained.

As a body comes to rest, at a height, it attains potential energy.

The body during flight decreases in kinetic energy but increases its potential energy due to gravity pulling it to rest.
